The books in the Essential Bibliographies series include an essay
by a noted scholar on the important historiographical issues and a
pertinent bibliography for a particular period or theme in military
history. They serve as research tools for librarians, researchers,
and readers with a professional interest and as a starting point
for pursuing further studies.This title, the second in the series
by Jeremy Black ("War in European History, 1494-1660"), fills the
relative neglect of the time period between the age of military
revolution and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. In
Europe, both Austria and Russia had driven back the Ottoman Turks,
and the fate of their empire-the "Eastern Question"-became an
important issue in European power politics. Within Europe, no power
in Western or Central Europe, despite major efforts by France and
Austria, respectively, could match Russia's rise to dominance in
Eastern Europe. By contrast, Britain won the struggle for European
maritime superiority, decisively so in 1759, and that led to its
success over France in the battle over transoceanic colonies. The
War of American Independence (1775-83) eventually ranged around the
world as well. Although the British lost the struggle to control
the thirteen colonies, which became the independent United States
of America, the British survived what, from 1778, also became a war
with France, Spain, the Dutch, and leading Indian powers with most
of their empire retained. "War in European History, 1660-1792,"
covers it all.
