Publisher's Synopsis

The Conduct Of The Allies, And Of The Late Ministry, In Beginning And Carrying On The Present War (1711) is a book written by the famous satirist and author, Jonathan Swift. The book is a scathing critique of the actions taken by the Allies and the British government in starting and continuing the War of the Spanish Succession. Swift argues that the war was unnecessary and that the Allies were more concerned with their own interests than with the well-being of the British people. He also criticizes the British government for its mismanagement of the war effort and for its failure to provide for the needs of the soldiers fighting in the conflict. The book is a powerful indictment of the political and military leaders of the time and remains a classic work of political satire and criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
