The Military in the Early Modern World

A Comparative Approach. Edited by Markus Meumann and Andrea Pühringer.

The forms and structures of the armed forces have not only changed between 1500 and 1800, but also varied throughout different regions of the world and even within Europe. The contributors to this volume examine twelve early modern examples of armed forces in the Holy Roman Empire, Western and Eastern Europe, Eastern Asia and North America and paint a multifarious and even disparate picture during this period. With contributions by Martin P. Schennach, Andrea Pühringer, Carmen Winkel et al. 312 Seiten mit vier Abb., gebunden (Herrschaft und soziale Systeme in der Frühen Neuzeit; Band 26/V&R unipress 2020) leichte Lagerspuren
