Summary "This book traces the history of debates about citizen-soldiery, militias, and arms control over two thousand years, illustrating for a general readership what eighteenth-century militias were and why the founding fathers believed them to be "necessary to the security of a free state." It focuses on ten events, from antiquity to the Age of Revolutions, in which ideas about citizenship and the comparative benefits of militias versus standing/professional armies evolved together"-- Provided by publisher.
