Summary
"During the early modern period in Europe, the scale and scope of war expanded dramatically while firepower was integrated effectively into armies for the first time. This book examines how the military entrepreneur, a type of military contractor, emerged to meet rulers' needs and advance aristocratic family interests, focusing on Raimondo Montecuccoli (1609-80)"--
