European Military Rivalry, 1500-1750: Fierce Pageant examines more
than 200 years of international rivalry across Western, Central,
and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean rim. The book charts the
increasing scale, expenditure and duration of early modern wars;
the impact of modern fortification on strategy and the movement of
armies; the incidence of guerrilla war and localized conflict
typical of the French wars of religion; the recourse by warlords to
private financing of troops and supplies; and the creation of
disciplined standing armies and navies in the age of Absolutism,
made possible by larger bureaucracies. In addition to discussing
key events and personalities of military rivalry during this
period, the book describes the operational mechanics of early
modern warfare and the crucial role of taxation and state
borrowing. The relationship between the Christian West and the
Ottoman Empire is also extensively analysed. Drawing heavily upon
international scholarship over the past half-century, European
Military Rivalry, 1500-1750: Fierce Pageant will be of great use to
undergraduate students studying military history and early modern
Europe.
