Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A valuable account. [...] Nimwegen's book is much to be welcomed. EUROPEAN HISTORY QUARTERLY

[From the Dutch edition] An outstanding analytical and narrative history of the "mature" Dutch army. JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY

Praise for the original Dutch edition:
Van Nimwegen's book is the first fully fledged overview of the Dutch army in the 17th century. The self-image of the Netherlands as a peaceable nation has for a long time stood in the way of a serious scholarly study of this subject. TROUW [Maarten Prak]
Deserves a central place in any specialist discussion about the army in the Dutch Republic. The richly knowledgeable but level-headed style and the well-chosen quotations will make it appealing to a broader readership as well. BMGN [Jeroen Duindam]

Reseña del editor:

Assesses the changes in military organisation and tactics which occurred in the Dutch army in the period 1588-1688, relating these changes to the so-called "military revolution," focusing especially on the changes introduced under the renowned Maurice of Nassau and under William III.
