'This is the Century of the Soldier',
Falvio Testir,Poet,
1641
The 'Century of the Soldier' series covers the period of military history
c.
1618-1721,
the 'golden era' ofPike and Shot warfare. This time frame
has been seen by many historians as a period of not only great social
change, but of fundamental developments within military matters.
This is the period of the 'military revolution: the development of standing
armies, the widespread introduction of black powder weapons and a
greater professionalism within the culture of military personnel.
1618-1721
The series examines the period in a greater degree of detail than has hitherto been attempted, and has
a very wide brief, with the intention of covering all aspects of the period from the battles, campaigns,
logistics and tactics, to the personalities, armies, uniforms and equipment.
About the author:
Laurence Spring
studied at the universities of London and Aberystwyth. He is also a qualified archivist,
and has worked for many years at the Surrey History Centre. He has researched the early seventeenth
century for many years and has written on various aspects of the English Civil War, including the
campaigns of Sir William WaIler and the armies of Sir William WaIler and the Earl of Manchester. He has
also written many books on the Russian Army during the Napoleonic Wars as well as several articles for
the 'Surrey in the Great War' website. Since he has an archival background he prefers to search through
archives looking for various interesting facts for his books, rather than relying on printed sources, which
give a vivid insight to the subject and not mentioned in secondary sources. Using this method he has
found evidence that contradicts the established 'facts' on a subject. He has also written several books for
the 'Century of the Soldier' series,
The First British Army, the Army of the Duke of Buckingham,
1624-1628
(2016),
The Bavarian Army, the Backbone of the Catholic League
(2017),
The Battle of the White Mountain
and the Bohemian Revolt
(2018)
and is writing several more books on the English Civil War for the series
which will be published in the future.
