Synopsis
The 80 Years' War began with a limited Dutch rebellion seeking only religious toleration from their Spanish overlords, but ended with an independent republic recognized as a global power. During the phase between 1588 and 1610 the genius of Maurice of Nassau built a new, tightly-drilled army of 'pike and shot' on the foundation of ancient Roman infantry tactics, setting an example for the rest of Europe. This book describes and explains the evolution of that infantry; it is illustrated with photos, period engravings, tactical diagrams, and meticulous colour plates of the soldiers and their flags, some of them previously unpublished. Book jacket., An illustrated study of the Dutch infantry during the 80 Years' War and the struggle for independence from Spain. It will appeal to enthusiasts of 16th- and 17th-century warfare., The 80 Years' War (also known as the Dutch War of Independence) was the foundation of Dutch nationhood, and during the course of the conflict one of its main leaders - Maurice of Orange-Nassau - created an army and a tactical system that became a model throughout Europe. This study, the first of a two-part series, focuses on the Dutch infantry. It examines how Maurice of Orange-Nassau attracted volunteers and students from across Europe, introduced innovative new training methods such as common drill movements, and standardised the organisation and payment system of the army to make it more than a match for the occupying Spanish. His successes inspired officers and generals across the continent to copy his methods, including many English officers who went on to fight in the English Civil Wars. Featuring full-colour artwork and rare period illustrations, this book examines how the Dutch infantry was transformed into a fighting force able to defeat the might of Imperial Spain., The 80 Years' War (also known as the Dutch War of Independence) was the foundation of Dutch nationhood, and during the course of the conflict one of its main leaders--Maurice of Orange-Nassau--created an army and a tactical system that became a model throughout Europe.
