The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World

byLinda Colley

Focused on warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen brings Linda Colley's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
