Still we must agree that the weren’t a war, but a medieval brawl between kings. I regard that campaign by far the more decent since . But than of course, it depended on taxes (both sides) and civilians where harmed, so its far from commendable.
I know this doesn’t really answer the original question - but I found this collection of quotes by on Hayak, it seems she was quite a fan.
==================
“.. the most powerful critique of socialist planning and the socialist state which I read at this time [the late 1940’s], and to which I have returned so often since [is] F. A. 's The Road to Serfdom.” (Margaret , The Path to Power, New York: Harper Collins, 1995, p. 50).
“Our inspiration was less Rab Butler’s Industrial Charter than books like Colm Brogan’s anti-socialist satire, Our New Masters . . and 's powerful Road to Serfdom, dedicated to ‘the socialists of all parties’. Such books not only provided crisp, clear analytical arguments against socialism, demonstrating how its economic theories were connected to the then depressing shortages of our daily lives; but by their wonderful mockery of socialist follies, they also gave us the feeling that the other side simply could not win in the end. That is a vital feeling in politics; it eradicates past defeats and builds future victories.

(Margaret , The Downing Street Years, New York: Harper Collins, 1993, pp. 12-13.)

Before he had finished speaking to his paper, the new Party Leader [Margaret ] reached into her briefcase and took out a book. It was Friedrich von 's The Constitution of Liberty. Interrupting [the speaker], she held the book up for all of us to see. ‘This’, she said sternly, ‘is what we believe’, and banged down on the table.” (John Ranelagh, 's People: An Insider’s Account of the Politics, the Power, and the Personalities. London: HarperCollins, 1991.)
“For Dicey, writing in 1885, and for me reading him some seventy years later, the rule of law still had a very English, or at least Anglo-Saxon, feel to it. It was later, through 's masterpieces The Constitution of Liberty and Law, Legislation and Liberty that I really came to think this principle as having wider application.” (Margaret , The Path to Power, New York: Harper Collins, 1995, pp. 84-85.)
“.. all the general propositions favouring freedom I had .. imbibed at my father’s knee or acquired by candle-end reading of Burke and ..”. (Margaret , The Path to Power, New York: Harper Collins, 1995, p. 604).
“.. Adam Smith, the greatest exponent of free enterprise economics till and Friedman.” (Margaret , The Downing Street Years, New York: Harper Collins, 1993, p. 618)
