Revue de presse

'This book bucks the trend. Most books promise far lass than their titles, but Parrott delivers more ... a major work for those interested in early-modern military history.' History Today

'This is a monumental study, which not only puts a definitive stamp on its subject but sets a high standard for all future military historians.' Theodore K Rabb, The Times Literary Supplement

'No previous study has lavished such attention on this chapter in military history ... This is a monumental study, which not only puts a definite stamp on its subject but sets a high standard for all future military historians.' European History

'The originality of this book lies in Parrott's mastery of the literature on seventeenth-century warfare written in all the major Western European languages. It is a triumph of scholarship that, by placing French developments in a wider European context, will have an impact well beyond the hexagon ... We can only congratulate David Parrott on producing such a fine monument.' H-FRANCE

'This is a book that beautifully illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of institutional history.' History

'It is one of the most important studies of early modern warfare since the revival of that subject in the 1970s, as well as being an important contribution to seventeenth-century French and European history.' War in History
