Military Transition in Early Modern Asia, 1400-1750 - Cavalry, Guns, Government and Ships (Hardcover)

A substantial amount of work has been carried out to explore the military systems of Western Europe during the early modern era, but the military trajectories of the Asian states have received relatively little attention. This study provides the first comparative study of the major Asian empires' military systems and explores the extent of the impact of West European military transition on the extra-European world. Kaushik Roy conducts a comparative analysis of the armies and navies of the large agrarian bureaucratic empires of Asia, focusing on the question of how far the Asian polities were able to integrate gunpowder weapons in their military systems. "Military Transition in Early Modern Asia, 1400-1750" offers important insights into the common patterns in war making across the region, and the impact of firearms and artillery.
