This is the Century of the Soldier', Falvio Testir, Poet, 1641
The 'Century of the Soldier' series covers the period of military history
c. 1618-1721, the 'golden era' of Pike and Shot warfare. This time frame
has been seen by many historians as a period of not only great social
change, but of fundamental developments within military matters_
This is the period of the 'military revolution', the development of standing
armies, the widespread introduction of black powder weapons and a
greater professionalism within the culture of military personnel.
Soldier
1618-1721
The series examines the period in a greater degree of detail than has hitherto been attempted, and has
a very wide brief, with the intention of covering
all
aspects ofthe period from the battles, campaigns,
logistics and tactics, to the personalities, armies, uniforms and equipment.
