The Italian Wars 1494-1559 outlines the major impact that these
wars had, not just on the history of Italy, but on the history of
Europe as a whole. It provides the first detailed account of the
entire course of the wars, covering all the campaigns and placing
the military conflicts in their political, diplomatic, social and
economic contexts. Throughout the book, new developments in
military tactics, the composition of armies, the balance between
infantry and cavalry, and the use of firearms are described and
analysed. How Italians of all sectors of society reacted to the
wars and the inevitable political and social change that they
brought about is also examined, offering a view of the wars from a
variety of perspectives. Fully updated and containing a range of
maps as well as a brand-new chapter on propaganda and images of
war, this second edition of The Italian Wars 1494-1559 is essential
reading for all students of Renaissance and military history.
