伊丽莎白时代各县的战争和政治重新评估了对西班牙的战争（1585-1603）期间的国家战争努力。它利用大量迄今为止被忽视的资料，发现了一个比人们想象的更健康的政治体系，修正了许多关于国家面对军事变革时的弱点的现有假设。
它审视了从宫廷和枢密院到县和教区的政治和政府，评估了中央政权以及地方上尉机构，这些机构为伊丽莎白的战争提供了军队，并管理着抵御西班牙入侵企图的民兵。政府问题在广泛的背景下进行评估，涉及民众对战争的态度、政府宣传、地方抵抗以及治理宗教分裂国家的问题。通过这种方式，这本书所涵盖的内容远远超出了战争本身，为整个伊丽莎白时代国家的有效性提供了新的评估。
War and politics in the Elizabethan counties reassesses the national war effort during the wars against Spain (1585–1603). Drawing on a mass of hitherto neglected sources, it finds a political system in much better health than has been thought, revising many existing assumptions about the weaknesses of the state in the face of military change.
It examines politics and government from the court and privy council to the counties and parishes, assessing the central regime as well as the local machinery of lord lieutenancies which provided troops to fight Elizabeth’s wars and ran the militia which defended against Spanish invasion attempts. The problems of government are assessed in a wide-ranging set of contexts, addressing popular attitudes to the war, government propaganda, local resistance and the problems of governing a country divided in religion. In this way the book covers much more than the war alone, providing a new assessment of the effectiveness of the whole Elizabethan state.
