1-226550
Exceptionally well illustrated with plates from Drill Manuals. Includes complete set of plates and translations for EXERCISE OF ARMES and LE MARESCHAL DE BATAIILE, the French 1647 manual. This is the first in a series of books on the military theory and practice introduced by the reforms of Prince Maurice of Orange. These reforms were then developed further by the Dutch and other armies through practical use during the 30YW and ECW. The objective of this series is to set out the perspective of contemporary soldiers on the military systems they used in their own words and with the illustrations used in contemporary military books and pamphlets. Essentially, what contemporary soldiers thought they were doing, and how they went about it and the advantages and disadvantages they saw in doing so.
