Synopsis

The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the "new military history", which emphasized military organization--mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics--rather than military "events" such as sieges and battles. Constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch), this revised updated second edition includes new sources and references but otherwise remains faithful to the original edition.

Book Description:

The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the 'new military history', which emphasised military organisation--mobilisation, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics--rather than military 'events' such as sieges and battles. The book has been constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch). This revised second edition includes some new sources and updates some references but otherwise remains faithful to the original version.
