The period 1603-1645 witnessed the publication of more than ninety
books, manuals, and broadsheets dedicated to educating Englishmen
in the military arts. Written with the intention of creating the
"complete soldier", this didactic literature provided gentlemen
with the requisite knowledge to engage in infantry, cavalry, and
siege warfare. Drawing on military history and book history, this
is the first detailed study of the impact of military books on
military practice in Jacobean and Caroline England. Putting
military books firmly in the hands of soldiers, this work examines
the circles that purchased and debated new titles, the veterans who
authored them, and their influence on military thought and training
in the years leading up to the English Civil War.
