Opis: War in European History 1494-1660 - Jeremy Black

This is the first title in the new "Essential Bibliographies" series: each volume will feature an essay by a noted scholar on an important issue or period in military history, and a complete bibliography for the subject. Each book will be an all-in-one research tool for librarians, researchers and readers with a professional or hobbyist interest in pursuing further studies. This first volume traces Europe's military revolution, beginning with the onset of "modern warfare" in the 15th century Italian Wars and ending with the restoration of the House of Stuart to the English throne. It provides the latest scholarship in a portable format for students. "In this brief but comprehensive book, Jeremy Black provides a broad survey of contemporary historical scholarship on military history. He gives persuasive arguments that the concept of a European Military Revolution determined by weapons and tactics is too narrow an approach to both military history and the role of violence and warfare in history. The political, cultural, organizational, and logistical aspects of warfare have been underestimated, but that also makes them especially fruitful for future studies. This should be an essential resource for scholars and students alike."
