War in European History 1494-1660

This is the first title in the new "Essential Bibliographies" series: each volume will feature an essay by a noted scholar on an important issue or period in military history, and a complete bibliography for the subject. Each book will be an all-in-one research tool for librarians, researchers and readers with a professional or hobbyist interest in pursuing further studies. This first volume traces Europe's military revolution, beginning with the onset of "modern warfare" in the 15th century Italian Wars and ending with the restoration of the House of Stuart to the English throne. It provides the latest scholarship in a portable format for students.
