The War of the Spanish Succession, the First Austro-Ottoman War, and the Great Northern War are some of the successive wars that Nolan (Boston Univ.) addresses in this impressive encyclopedia. Although most of this international history of warfare is devoted to Europe (most especially the wars pursued by France's Louis XIV), it offers useful coverage of warfare in the Americas, China, Japan, and elsewhere… Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readrs.

The Journal of Military History

Dominated by the ambitions of France's King Louis XIV, Europe in the years 1650-1715 witnessed a series of wars from which emerged many of the theories, practices, and technologies that characterize modern warfare. During this period, European armies evolved modern ideas of army organization and military leadership, as well as modern views of campaign strategy and battle tactics. As European soldiers and colonists moved into Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, the practice or influence of their military techniques and ideas also affected wars fought in those places. In this volume's 1000 plus entries, an award-winning author of reference works on international relations and war describes and defines important events, technologies, and individuals from this seminal period of global military history.
