If you ever wanted to train your own C17th army....4
If you ever wanted to train your own C17th army then this is the book to tell you how it's done. The premier book of drills for the most common weapons of the day (pikes, calivers and muskets), it was extensiively copied at the time. Packed with beauiful and very detailed line drawings, I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in Dutch military fashion of the time, as well as the budding c17th commander.
