War in the early modern world Summary
| Filling a conspicuous gap in the literature, this fascinating survey provides a unique introduction to the growth of military practice across the world for students of international history in the early-modern and modern periods. Here, Europe is deliberately allocated only one chapter as a team of distinguished international scholars provides accounts which qualify the usual Eurocentric perspective. The contributions on Africa, Asia, and America reveal the variety of military systems in the early-modern world and are important not only to an understanding of military developments, but also to the history of particular regions and of the world in a crucial period of change and growing interaction. The nature and role of technological change and the relationship between military developments and state-building are also considered. |
