"Seventeenth Century European Warfare" Topic

Hello

Looking for suggestings for a Seventheenth Century European Warfare reading list. Pretty much anything from the Thirty Years War to the War of the Grand Alliance, including books on the great captains of the period.

thanks
Edward

You spelled your name wrong.

Try Brent Nosworthy's "Anatomy of Victory."

Spelling is usually the least of one's concerns when it comes to 'roids. I should imagine the OP is either typing quickly or standing as he penned that missive.

Try this new TYW book – bit.ly/28EhLU
