Italian Wars 1494-1559 - War, State and Society in Early Modern Europe Shaw Christine University of Oxford UKPaperback / softback
The Italian Wars 1494-1559 outlines the major impact that these wars had, not just on the history of Italy, but on the history of Europe as a whole. How Italians of all sectors of society reacted to the wars and the inevitable political and social change that they brought about is also examined, offering a view of the wars from a variety of perspectives.Fully updated and containing a range of maps as well as a brand-new chapter on propaganda and images of war, this second It provides the first detailed account of the entire course of the wars, covering all the campaigns and placing the military conflicts in their political, diplomatic, social and economic contexts.Throughout the book, new developments in military tactics, the composition of armies, the balance between infantry and cavalry, and the use of firearms are described and analysed.
