Century of the Soldier 1618-1721

'This is the Century of the Soldier’, Fulvio Testi, Poet, 1641

The ‘Century of the Soldier’ series covers the period of military history c. 1618–1721, the ‘golden era’ of Pike and Shot warfare. This time frame has been seen by many historians as a period of not only great social change, but of fundamental developments within military matters. This is the period of the ‘military revolution’, the development of standing armies, the widespread introduction of black powder weapons and a greater professionalism within the culture of military personnel. The series examines the period in a greater degree of detail than has hitherto been attempted, and has a very wide brief, with the intention of covering all aspects of the period from the battles, campaigns, logistics and tactics, to the personalities, armies, uniforms and equipment.

"I am Professor of Conflict History and Archaeology at the University of Glasgow and for me the Helion 'Century of the Soldier' and 'From Reason to Revolution' series provide incredibly useful teaching resources – for instance, I’ve been wanting to see something on French troops in the '45 for years and now here is it is. I know for a fact that students find the look of the books appealing, a factor that shouldn’t be underestimated, but equally they have an academic weight too. I have no hesitation in acknowledging the series as one of most important developments in military history publishing for 20 years." Professor Tony Pollard, University of Glasgow
