The Making of a World
Power by James Scott Wheeler
In 1605 England was a second-rate European power.
There was neither a fulltime navy nor a standing army. For the first 30
years of the 17th century English naval forces and military expeditions
remained semi-private affairs, and campaigns against Spain and France in
the 1620s and Scotland in 1639-40 were abysmal failures due in large part
to the lack of trained officers to lead them. By 1705, however, this
situation had changed dramatically, and England's professional army and
navy were playing crucial roles in Europe and in North America. British
army and navy personnel, backed by well-established military and financial
organisations at home and abroad, allowed the island nation to become a
leading European nation state and world power.
To explain this dramatic turnaround, Professor
Wheeler refutes existing scholarship that places Britain's military and
financial revolutions after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He locates
them earlier and, in particular, explains how they were centrally related
to the mid-seventeenth century conflicts, both domestic and foreign.

Marlborough by Correlli Barnett
This remarkable book by the outstanding military historian of his
generation, seeks to bring life to the heroic figure behind the age of
Blenheim. The emphasis of the narrative lies throughout on the character
and personality of John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, rather than
on the general historical events of his life.
The course of Marlborough's war leadership is narrated with clarity,
colour, pace and immediacy, rendering Marlborough's talents and
achievements explicable in terms of the military art of his time. He
emerges as the greatest soldier of his age, and in the forefront of
commanders of all time.

The Military
Experience in the Age of Reason by Christopher Duffy
War in the 18th Century was a bloody business. A line of infantry
would slowly march, to the beat of a drum, into a hail of enemy fire.
Whole ranks would be wiped out by cannon fire and musketry. Today we
marvel at the courage of those who plodded slowly and remorselessly into
the maelstrom. How did they come to do it, and why?
The scope of Christopher Duffy's investigation is wide. The
brutalities of the battlefield naturally assume a central place, but he
also traces the lives of the officer and soldier from the formative
conditions of their earliest years to their violent deaths or retirement,
and shows that, below their well-ordered exteriors, the armies of the Age
of Reason underwent a revolutionary change from medieval to modern
structures and ways of thinking.

Lützen 1632,
Climax of the Thirty Years War by Richard Brzezinski
The Thirty Years War, a religious conflict between Catholics and
Protestants, raged across Europe between 1618 and 1648, devastating huge
areas of Germany. By 1632 the Protestant powers were in a desperate
situation until King Gustavus Adolphus II of Sweden, 'the Lion of the
North', came to their rescue. This book describes how, having smashed one
of the two main Catholic armies, he faced the other at Lützen near
Leipzig in November 1632. In a nightmare battle fought in thick fog, his
Swedish troops locked horns with the Imperial army. It was a bloody clash,
in which Gustavus himself demonstrated true courage at the head of his
cavalry - and one for which he would pay the ultimate price.

Poltava 1709, Russia Comes of
Age by Angus Konstam
Poltava marked the demise of Sweden as a European great power and
the rise of Russia. In 1707, the seemingly invincible Charles XII led his
army deep into Russia. It was to prove his undoing - the long march eroded
the fighting strength of the invaders; a vital supply convoy was lost; and
the winter of 1708/1709 was the worst in living memory. In this superbly
illustrated volume, Angus Konstam tells the dramatic story of the
destruction of the Swedish army.
