In this attractively illustrated and updated edition, Geoffrey Parker discusses the major changes in the military practice of the West during this time period--establishment of bigger armies, creation of superior warships, the role of firearms--and argues that these major changes amounted to a \"military revolution\" that gave Westerners a decided advantage over people of other continents. A new chapter addresses the controversies engendered by the previous edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press, 1989","offers":[{"title":"The Military Revolution Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500-1800 \/ Very Good","offer_id":55759297872164,"sku":"9780521376808VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_ba97bc5e-7cf5-4bd7-bf53-2d1bfd3f2ac9.jpg?v=1784394497","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780521376808","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
