Seller's Description: Near Fine. Book. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. Very Good Soft Cover Previous Owner's Name And Date Neatly On Top Of Half-Title Page. 306 Pages Including Notes, Bibliography And Index. American Political Culture And Military Necessity Were At Odds During The War For American Independence, As Demonstrated In This Interpretation Of Continental Army Administration. E. Wayne Carp Shows That At Every Level Of Authority--Congressional, State, And County--A Localistic World-View, A Deferential Political Order, And Adherence To Republican Ideology Impeded The Task Of Supplying The Army, Even Though Independence Demanded Military Strength. Placing Military History Within The Context Of Colonial And Revolutionary Historiography, Carp Finds That The Colonial American Belief That Authority And Political Power Should Be Decentralized Deeply Influenced Congress's Approach To The Task Of Supplying The Army. Furthermore, Most Congressmen Had Neither Military Experience Nor Any Idea Of How To Administer An Army, While Local Governments Constantly Thwarted The Army's Efforts To Obtain Supplies--They Blocked Impressment And Interfered With The Movement Of Food And Clothing.
