The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in
1972 marked the birth of the 'new military history', which
emphasized military organization - mobilization, pay, supply,
morale and, above all, logistics - rather than military 'events'
such as sieges and battles. Geoffrey Parker studied one of the
great logistical feats of early modern Europe: how Habsburg Spain
managed to maintain and mobilize the largest army in Europe in an
80-year effort to suppress the Dutch Revolt, at 700 miles'
distance. Using a unique combination of surviving records, he
presented strikingly the logistical problems of fighting wars in
early modern Europe, and demonstrated why Spain failed to suppress
the Dutch Revolt. The book has been constantly cited since its
first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and
Dutch). This revised second edition includes some new sources and
updates some references but otherwise remains faithful to the
original version.
