Historians have long ignored the military aspect of the wars of
religion which raged in France during the late sixteenth century,
dismissing the conflicts as aimless or hopelessly confused. In
contrast, this meticulously researched analysis of the royal army
and its operations during the early civil wars brings warfare back
to the centre of the picture. James B. Wood explains the reasons
for the initial failure of the monarchy to defeat the Huguenots,
and examines how that failure prolonged the conflict. He argues
that the nature and outcome of the civil wars can only be explained
by the fusion of religious rebellion and incomplete military
revolution. This study makes an important contribution to the
history of military forces, warfare and society, and will be of
great interest to those engaged in the debate over the 'Military
Revolution' in early modern Europe.
