Description
Offering over 1000 entries on important events, technologies, and people, this encyclopedia traces the development of modern warfare in Europe during the years 1650-1715 and the extension of those military techniques and practices into Asia, the Americas, and elsewhere.
Reviews:
-
"The War of the Spanish Succession, the First Austro-Ottoman War, and the Great Northern War are some of the successive wars that Nolan (Boston Univ.) addresses in this impressive encyclopedia. Although most of this international history of warfare is devoted to Europe (most especially the wars pursued by France's Louis XIV), it offers useful coverage of warfare in the Americas, China, Japan, and elsewhere... Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readrs."
—CHOICE
-
"Overall, the encyclopedia adequately covers the content its title promises. . . Its features make it most useful for those in the beginning stages of research at the undergraduate level or for someone who wants to casually look up a particular term; the broad country and army entries are the most useful in briefly recapitulating current scholarly views . . . Readers will undoubtedly learn from this encyclopedia . . ."
