`Brown's description of the evolving army burearcracy is never
boring ... Brown skilfully and painstakingly charts the play of
forces that shaped the ministerial bureaucracy ... War, Revolution,
and the Bureaucratic State is proof that a study of politicians and
bureaucrats can still make for excellent military history.'
MS, Canadian Military History
`..ward G. Brown ... has written the definitive study of army
control and administration from December 1791 until the political
crisis of 18 Brumaire VIII (8 November 1799). This monograph is
thoroughly grounded in secondary sources and archival
materials.'
Linda Frey, University of Montana, History, Spring 1996
`This substantial study in the Oxford Historical Monographs series
sets out to trace the interaction between changing bureaucratic and
administrative regimes and the politics of the French
Revolution.'
David Andress, University of Portsmouth, French History, Vol. 10.
No. 3 '96
`Brown ... provides a fresh examination and in the process
questions Church's conclusions ... A short review cannot do justice
to Brown's sophisticated handling of modernization theory, his
meticulous archival rsearch, or his command of detail. Highly
recommended for graduate students and faculty.'
D.C. Baxter, Ohio University, Choice, March 1996 Vol. 33, No.7
