Description: "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.""--
