The volume offers case studies from various regions in Europe (England, France, the Low Countries, Germany, the Balkans) and throughout the world (the Chinese, Ottoman and Mughal Empires), from the 15th century into the 18th. The international contributors analyse how siege narratives were created and disseminated, and how early modern actors as well as later historians made sense of these violent events in both textual and visual artefacts. . The volume's chronological and geographical breadth provides insight into similarities and differences of siege warfare and military culture across several cultures, countries and centuries, as well as its impact on both combatants and observers. 410 0$aHistory of Warfare$v126. 606 $aSiege warfare$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history, Modern 615 0$aSiege warfare$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history, Modern. 676 $a355.440903 702 $aFischer-Kattner$b Anke 702 $aOstwald$b Jamel 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810204003321 996 $aThe world of the siege$93931639 997 $aUNINA
