A detailed study of Dutch military engineers and fortification works during the opening phase of the Eighty Years' War, covering the period 1573–1604. Frans Westra examines the development of military engineering in the Low Countries and explores the individuals responsible for the construction and evolution of early modern defensive systems. The work discusses the transition from medieval fortifications to increasingly sophisticated bastioned systems and highlights important figures including Adriaan Anthoniszoon and Simon Stevin. Richly illustrated with maps, plans, sketches and archival material, the book provides a valuable examination of military architecture, siege warfare and engineering practice during a transformative period in European military history. A scholarly but accessible work of interest to historians of fortification, military engineering and the Dutch Revolt
