There is so much to say about this brand-new Outline Military History of The Rise of Brandenburg-Prussia, 1600-1700 that I can only encourage readers of this post to visit this webpage to read all about it.
I can say that if you have any interest in Pike and Shot era warfare, and can be reminded that the 17th Century was about far more than the Thirty Years and English Civil Wars, this is the volume for you!
Lavishly illustrated with weapons and uniforms, maps, historical OBs, and so much more, this original work belongs on the shelf of any military history buff, especially if the period of early Baroque Warfare holds any interest.
Not least, the book contains 26 full-page color uniform plates by professional military history artist Alan H. Archambault, all specifically commissioned for this work. No other source has this amount of information on the dress of the Brandenburg-Prussian Army in its formative first century.
And the naval wargamers of the same century are provided with a short history of the Brandenburg-Prussian Navy, its ships, actions and heroes as well. Large, full-page plans of six famous warships are included – just the ticket for anyone looking to model key vessels.
Figure sculptors and miniatures painters alike now have a resource like no other to bring this period alive for wargames – land and sea – or any other purpose.
Eagles Ascending: Softbound 8.5 x 11", 154 pages, with contemporary and new color maps, OBs of specific battles, mini-bios of key personalities, footnotes, bibliography, and fully indexed, $40.00 USD.
