Synopsis
The 80 Years' War began with a limited Dutch rebellion seeking only religious toleration from their Spanish overlords, but ended with an independent republic recognized as a global power. During the phase between 1588 and 1610 the genius of Maurice of Nassau built a new, tightly-drilled army of 'pike and shot' on the foundation of ancient Roman infantry tactics, setting an example for the rest of Europe. This book describes and explains the evolution of that infantry; it is illustrated with photos, period engravings, tactical diagrams, and meticulous colour plates of the soldiers and their flags, some of them previously unpublished. Book jacket., An illustrated study of the Dutch infantry during the 80 Years' War and the struggle for independence from Spain. It will appeal to enthusiasts of 16th- and 17th-century warfare., The 80 Years' War (also known as the Dutch War of Independence) was the foundation of Dutch nationhood, and during the course of the conflict one of its main leaders - Maurice of Orange-Nassau - created an army and a tactical system that became a model throughout Europe. This study, the first of a two-part series, focuses on the Dutch infantry. It examines how Maurice of Orange-Nassau attracted volunteers and students from across Europe, introduced innovative new training methods such as common drill movements, and standardised the organisation and payment system of the army to make it more than a match for the occupying Spanish. His successes inspired officers and generals across the continent to copy his methods, including many English officers who went on to fight in the English Civil Wars. Featuring full-colour artwork and rare period illustrations, this book examines how the Dutch infantry was transformed into a fighting force able to defeat the might of Imperial Spain., The 80 Years' War (also known as the Dutch War of Independence) was the foundation of Dutch nationhood, and during the course of the conflict one of its main leaders--Maurice of Orange-Nassau--created an army and a tactical system that became a model throughout Europe.

    Everything as advertised. Fair price, good communication and fast delivery. I purchased a 12 bottle display box of liquid plastic cement. The bottles are glass. The display box is made of thin cardboard. My only suggestion is that they should have used bubble wrap to pack around the display box to prevent the glass bottles from breaking the display box. Thankfully, none of the glass bottles broke.

    Fantastic experience with this seller! The items were exactly as described, arrived in perfect condition, and were packaged with great care to ensure they were protected during shipping. Delivery was prompt, and the seller’s communication was excellent throughout the process. They were friendly, professional, and clearly committed to providing top-notch service. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and would absolutely recommend this seller to others. A++!

    A question asked in feedback is "did your item arrive on time" I have no idea since there was no tracking. It was stressful for me not knowing when my order would arrive. I messaged the seller twice only heard back on the first message. I don't think I'll shop this seller again. As for the item I purchased it's of good quality, good condition and appearance is good. I'm not sure it was a good value since I worried and wondered where my order was. No tracking makes it difficult on customers
