Beyond the Military Revolution by Jeremy Black
The 17th century has been seen as a period of 'crisis' or transition from the pre-modern to the modern world. Jeremy Black explores this crucial period in world history from the perspective of war and military institutions. Genuinely global in range, the book engages with and challenges the idea of a 'military revolution'.
'This book mounts a heavy challenge to the Military Revolution hypothesis, as it has been traditionally stated, and it does so with clarity, accessibility and an intimidating breadth of knowledge' - The English Historical Review 'He does what no other scholar I know of can do in presenting the full range of global military history.' Peter Lorge, Vanderbilt University, USA 'Jeremy Black has provided a concise statement of where we are as well as a very useful call for military historians, and not just those working on the seventeenth century, to engage with others to better understand the role of warfare and its relative significance compared to other imperatives in different societies.' - Richard Harding, University of Westminster, European Review of History
