Il. Adam Hook. Throughout the 17th century large parts of Europe were depopulated during the wide-ranging and savage wars of religion and dynasty, involving all of the major powers. This was therefore a key period in the development of #modern# infantry tactics, such as the use of pole- arms and muskets together - hence the popular expression #pike and shot#. These infantry tactics involved different national schools on thought and practice, and were tested bloodily in great battles. This title covers the Dutch-Spanish wars of independence, The Thirty Years# War and the English Civil Wars.
