About This Item
Herndon, Virginia, U.S.A.: Cassell, 2003. New book, 240 pages. Thomas Arnold embarks on a fascinating journey through the warfare of the Renaissance, with an enthusiasm for his subject that colours every page. The reader is given a vivid portrait of this age of change, from the knights and heroes of the fifteenth century, to the well-drilled infantry and siege engineering of the sixteenth. The immense power of new gunpowder weapons required not only a new design for fortifications, but also massive changes in strategy and tactics. But gunpowder was only one of the many seeds of change in a restless, unsettled yet confident world. The whole of this change ammounted to a military renaissance, a revolution in the practice of war no less profound than the transformations in the arts and religion taking place in Europe at the same time.. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
