The trace italienne and the Growth of Armies: The French Case
Professor Roberts moves from the tactical changes which were the essential element in the 'Military Revolution, towards their main consequence, the development of a concept of strategy, which envisaged war upon a much broader scale, fought by incomparably larger armies. The exhaustion of numerous campaign theatres was compounded by the most notorious aspect of the Thirty Years' War—;the systematic ravaging and destruction of whole areas of territ…
Cathal J. Nolan. The Allure of Battle: A History of How Wars Have Been Won and Lost
This bold book by Cathal J. Nolan reinterprets the history and nature of warfare from the Middle Ages through the Second World War. It is aptly titled The Allure of Battle, because Nolan argues that the seductive siren call of battle-as-the-key-to-victory has distracted rulers, statesmen, and commanders from the true determinants of success or failure in armed conflict. Nolan identifies three dangerous misconceptions that have distorted the pract…
Charles J. Esdaile. Women in the Peninsular War
For some years now, volumes have emphasized the roles played by women during major wars, often in the fighting itself. Judging from the title of Charles J. Esdaile’s new volume, Women in the Peninsular War, potential readers might assume that it belongs in this category, but it does not. Its most pressing arguments go in quite the opposite direction. The grand structure of his volume provides varied perspectives on different categories of women, …
David Parrott. The Business of War: Military Enterprise and Military Revolution in Early Modern Europe
Fear and Outrage as Terrorists’ Goals
O n the morning of 9/11, Americans across the country witnessed al Qaeda's terrorist attacks as appalling images that provoked shock at the slaughter, grief for the victims, and furor toward the perpetrators. Islamist radicals had succeeded in striking an intensely visceral blow. Even though the destruction was great, it once again became brutally clear that the power of terrorist violence derives not primarily from the physical damages it inflic…

Giant of the Grand Siècle: The French Army, 1610–1715
An 'invisible giant', the seventeenth-century French army was the largest and hungriest institution of the Bourbon monarchy. Combining social and cultural emphases with more traditional institutional and operational concerns, this book examines the army in depth, studying recruitment, composition, discipline, motivation, selection of officers, leadership, administration, logistics, weaponry, tactics, field warfare and siegecraft. The portrait tha…

Territorial unification, bureaucratic growth, social tension, and civil rebellion were all influenced by the style and growth of armies on the Continent. No single publication has done more to extend our knowledge of seventeenth-century military history than Michael Rober…
