Decades of clashes between Spain and France transformed Italy into a crucible of military tactics and technology and brought about the emergence of the Spanish infantry tercios as Europe’s finest military force for more than a century. From their recruitment, through the complexities of everyday life in the army and culminating in the potential brutality of soldiering, the book offers a fresh and much needed exploration, analysis and, at times, reconsideration of what it meant to be a professional soldier in early modern Europe.History of Warfare114.SoldiersSpainHistory16th centuryAtrocitiesItalyHistory16th centurySpainHistory, Military16th centuryItalyHistory, Military1268-1559ItalyHistory1492-1559Electronic books.SoldiersHistoryAtrocitiesHistory945/.07Sharar 'Idan986463NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910163120203321Warriors for a living2254451UNINA
