Summary:

This book is a collection of scholarly works presented at the 2023 'Century of the Soldier' conference organized by Helion and Company, focusing on the military history of the 17th century, particularly the British Civil Wars. It explores various aspects of warfare during this period, including the evolution of military tactics, the organization of regiments, and specific battles and campaigns. Contributions from historians such as Peter H. Wilson, Andrew Robertshaw, and others provide insights into the impact of warfare on the development of Europe and the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The book aims to synthesize 'hard military history'—the study of battles, strategies, and tactics—with 'soft military history,' which examines the broader effects of war on society. It is intended for historians, military enthusiasts, and academics interested in early modern warfare. Generated by AI.
