内容説明
English Warfare 1511-1642 chronicles and analyses military operations from the reign of Henry VIII to the outbreak of the Civil War. The Tudor and Stuart periods laid the foundations of modern English military power. Henry VIII’s expeditions， the Elizabethan contest with Catholic Europe， and the subsequent commitment of English troops to the Protestant cause by James I and Charles I， constituted a sustained military experience that shaped English armies for subsequent generations. Drawing largely from manuscript sources， English Warfare 1511-1642 includes coverage of: the military adventures of Henry VIII in France， Scotland and Ireland Elizabeth I’s interventions on the continent after 1572， and how arms were perfected conflict in Ireland the production and use of artillery the development of logistics early Stuart military actions and the descent into civil war. English Warfare 1511-1642 demolishes the myth of an inexpert English military prior to the upheavals of the 1640s.
Book Description
English Warfare explores the English art of war from Henry VIII’s chivalric exuberance on the eve of the Battle of the Spurs 1513，to the shock of an ashen-faced Charles I surveying the carnage upon the field of Edgehill 1642. Did the soldier become more deadly in the era of the ?military revolution?? Combat on the Scottish borders， expeditions to the Continent， and incursions into Ireland are in turn described graphically， largely from unpublished sources. Institutional and administrative analysis are punctuated by vignettes from Henry VIII’s campaigns into France， the exploits of Elizabethan soldiers fighting in the Low Countries， and fierce skirmishes in the Irish Wars. What emerges is a distinctively English approach to war， which in a discussion of the politico-military crisis of 1640-1， sheds light on why the English Civil War commenced as it did. Well illustrated with maps， battle diagrams， portraits of key personalities.
