The Dawn of Modern Warfare by Hans Delbruck
Considers developments including the use of gunpowder, the invention of firearms and iron balls. After reviewing the establishment of a European infantry, this work discusses the transformation of loose confederations of knights into cavalry, the organization of fighting mercenaries, and the changing of mercenary bands into standing armies.
As he did in the previous three volumes, all available as Bison Books, Hans Delbrück analyzes many famous battles. Walter J. Renfroe Jr. has translated into English a work that set a standard for scholarship when it was first published in 1920.
