Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Transformation of War in the Early Modern World, analysing how warfare in Europe transitioned from small-scale independent mercenary armies to large-scale state armies driven by technological advancements and economic growth. The author argues that this transformation fundamentally reshaped European nations, as governments competed to fund, equip, and sustain massive armies that became integral to national identity and international power. The book explores the ways in which states wrested control of warfare from the nobility and gained power through the creation of disciplined armies loyal to the state rather than individual military leaders. The author highlights the impact of new technologies like gunpowder and artillery on military tactics and strategy, the rise of fortified cities and the growing importance of logistics and supply chains. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of warfare during a pivotal period, revolutionizing our understanding of military history and its impact on the development of modern nation-states and concepts of power.
