Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that nations that maintain a standing army are doomed to lose their liberty and become enslaved. The author examines historical examples of nations that have fallen into tyranny because of standing armies, and argues that this is an inevitable outcome of such a system. The author also discusses the specific dangers of a standing army in England, and concludes by calling for the disbandment of the English army. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on the dangers of tyranny and the importance of liberty. It is a well-written and persuasive argument that should be read by anyone interested in these topics.
