Pike and Shot Tactics 1590-1660
The book concentrates on the pike and shot's high era, when the number of pikes was slowly diminishing but the weapon was still important. This account was dry and mostly discussed developments in Spain, Netherlands, and Sweden and how these were used in the Dutch Revolution, Thirty Years' War, and English Civil War. Sadly, there was nothing on French developments nor tactics in the New Model Army. The volume really ends at 1645; the 1660 moniker is misleading. I also found the prose dry to the point where I had a hard time understanding the importance of certain tactical developments.
I would like to see a volume on wafare after 1660.
