Warfare in the seventeenth century

"The numerous and incessant wars of the seventeenth century slowly led to conceptual and strategic breakthroughs that marked a path for modern warfare. Improvements in the design of fortifications and advances in firearms technology had subtle but far-reaching effects. This authoritative history provides an explanation of the battles and the changing landscape of military life."--BOOK JACKET
