Wars and Soldiers in the Early Reign of Louis XIV Volume 9: The Swedish Army, 1655-1690 from our Century of the Soldier 1618-1721 series is now available!
In the mid seventeenth century, Sweden rose to become one of Europe’s leading military powers despite limited resources. This book explores how it achieved and sustained that success through decades of war against major rivals. Focusing on organisation, recruitment, command and material culture, it reveals a coherent and innovative military system comparable to France and the Dutch Republic. Richly illustrated with colour plates and supported by museum originals, it offers a comprehensive study of the Swedish army at the height of its power.
