Förlagets beskrivning
Historians have long ignored the military aspect of the wars of religion
which raged in France during the late sixteenth century, dismissing the
conflicts as aimless or hopelessly confused. In contrast, this meticulously
researched analysis of the royal army and its operations during the early civil
wars brings warfare back to the centre of the picture. James B. Wood explains
the reasons for the initial failure of the monarchy to defeat the Huguenots,
and examines how that failure prolonged the conflict. He argues that the nature
and outcome of the civil wars can only be explained by the fusion of religious
rebellion and incomplete military revolution. This study makes an important
contribution to the history of military forces, warfare and society, and will
be of great interest to those engaged in the debate over the 'Military
Revolution' in early modern Europe. A study of warfare and society during the wars of religion in France.
