The Dynastic State and the Army under Louis XIV: Royal Service and Private Interest, 1661–1701. By Guy Rowlands. Cambridge Studies in Early Modern History. Edited by, Sir John Elliott et al. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002. Pp. xxiv+404.

The ‘personal rule’ of Louis XIV witnessed a massive increase in the size of the French army and an apparent improvement in the quality of its officers, its men and the War Ministry. However, this is the first book to treat the French army under Louis XIV as a living political, social and economic organism: an institution which reflected the dynastic interests and personal concerns of the king and his privileged subjects. The book seeks to explain the development of the army between the end of Cardinal Mazarin’s ministry and the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession. During this period the army was reshaped, not simply through the assurance of an adequate money supply, the promulgation of reforming edicts and the imposition of tighter ministerial control. Of even greater significance was the awareness of Louis XIV and his ministers of the need to pay careful attention to the condition of the king’s officers, and to take account of those officers’ military, political, social and cultural aspirations.
