| Sumario: | First published in 1921, this book examines the changes in styles of warfare between the medieval period & the Renaissance. Frederick Lewis Taylor links the transformations in intellectual & cultural life in this period with contemporary military innovations. His discussion focuses on the Italian wars between Spain, France & the Netherlands between 1494 & 1529, both because the aggression of competing states in a small area led to frequent wars, & because the influence of the Renaissance was strongest in its birthplace, the Italian peninsula. Taylor traces the stages in the development in all aspects of military operations, & also investigates the development of a theoretical study of war. His work remains one of the most complete reviews in English of the Italian wars of this period, & explains the origins of the style of warfare which would dominate Europe in the following centuries. |
