Furies: War in Europe 1450-1700 by Lauro Martines

3.0

A conceptually admirable rethink of the focus of military history that dives deep into what Renaissance warfare looked like for those on the ground living through it (namely, unrelentingly brutal, miserable, and violent). Not sure all its constituent parts work as well as they could, but more military history should do what this book does - step away from high politics and maneuvers and focus on those who suffered for it.
