"The greatest intensification of the horrors of war is a direct result of the democratisation of the State. So long as the army was a professional unit, the specialist function of a limited number of men, war remained a relatively harmless contest for power. But once it became everyman's duty to defend his home (or his political â€œrightsâ€) warfare was free to range wherever that home might be, and to attack every form of life and property associated with that home."
