History of the Art of War in the Sixteenth Century, A

The sixteenth century was a period of dramatic change in military strategy, tactics and organisation. In A History of the Art of War in the Sixteenth Century, Sir Charles Oman, the revered master of military historical writing, surveyed "military science" and "military psychology" from the year 1494 up to 16000. First published in 1937, the book became a major classic - a valued students' text and, when it went out of print, a much sought collectors' item. Now this important work of more than 800 pages and forty maps and plates is available again.
