The Renaissance at War

Toward the end of the fifteenth century, modern artillery and portable firearms became the signature weapons of European armies, radically altering the nature of warfare. The new arms transformed society, too, as cities were built and rebuilt to limit the effects of bombardment by cannon. This book follows these far-reaching changes in comprehensive and fascinating detail and demonstrates how the innovations of the Renaissance paved the way to further changes in warfare.

An in-depth technical look at the weaponry of the age and the tactical drills that honed the skills of Renaissance soldiers
The epic wars abroad between Western Christians and the Muslim Turks Civil strife at home between despotic rulers and rebellious forces
Kingly duels that play out on an international stage

Renaissance at War (Smithsonian History of Warfare)

While the first 3/4 of this book are particularly helpful, Arnold looses focus toward the end, and never really concludes anything. In fact, I had to check the page numbers to make sure my edition wasn't missing an ending!
That said, this is an excellent reference book, and Arnold does a particularly nice job of contextualizing Renaissance fears of the Middle East. I had never realized that the threat of the Ottomans was anything other than paranoia... I now better understand the blatant racism that the early modern English levied at the Ottomans was not held in a vacuum; the threat of invasion was not only real, it happened in several places, sometimes even permanently.
Furthermore, anyone interested in the nature of warfare in the middle of the 1500s will find a wealth of information both practical and tactical.
