Reseña del libro "The Conduct Of The Allies, And Of The Late Ministry, In Beginning And Carrying On The Present War (1711) (en Inglés)"
The Conduct of the Allies, and of the Late Ministry, in Beginning and Carrying on the Present War is a political pamphlet written by the renowned Irish author and satirist Jonathan Swift in 1711. The book is a scathing critique of the conduct of the allies and the British government during the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714.Swift argues that the war was a costly and unnecessary endeavor that was driven by the greed and ambition of European powers, rather than any genuine concern for the welfare of the people. He accuses the allies of being more interested in their own interests than in the cause of the war, and he criticizes the British government for being too weak and indecisive in its leadership.Throughout the book, Swift employs his trademark wit and satire to skewer the various figures involved in the war, including the Duke of Marlborough, who he portrays as a greedy and unscrupulous general, and the Dutch, who he accuses of being more interested in their trade interests than in the war effort.The Conduct of the Allies is considered one of Swift's most important political works, and it had a significant impact on the public debate surrounding the war. It remains a classic of political satire and a powerful indictment of the follies and excesses of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
