Wars and Soldiers in the Early Reign of Louis XIV – Volumes 8–9
Continuing this acclaimed series on seventeenth-century European warfare, Volumes 8 and 9 examine the rise of Sweden as a major military power and the armies that fought for supremacy in Northern Europe during the reign of Louis XIV.
Volume 8 explores the conflicts between Sweden and Denmark-Norway, placing these often-overlooked wars within the wider European struggle for power. It examines the history, organisation, uniforms, equipment, and colours of both armies, alongside studies of the Duchy of Courland and the Royal City of Danzig, revealing the political and military significance of the Baltic theatre.
Volume 9 focuses on the Swedish army at the height of its power, analysing the organisation, recruitment, command structure, and military system that enabled Sweden to sustain decades of successful warfare. Richly illustrated with detailed colour artwork, uniforms, equipment, standards, and regimental colours, it provides a comprehensive study of one of Europe's most effective seventeenth-century armies.
Together, these volumes offer an authoritative and richly illustrated account of Scandinavian warfare and military organisation during the age of Louis XIV, making them an essential addition for students of early modern military history.
