A global account of warfare in the late fifteenth and sixteenth-century that emphasises the breadth of military trajectories and connections. It offers a corrective to a narrative that has emphasised European developments and obscured the history of non-European military systems and cultures of war. JEREMY BLACK is Professor of History at the University of Exeter, UK. He is a leading authority on early modern British and continental European history, with special interest in international relations, military history, the press, and historical atlases. His recent publications include 'The English Seaborne Empire', 'The Age of Total War', 'Using History', 'Naval Power' and 'Beyondthe Military Revolution'.
