This was an era when fortresses and fortress systems shaped the calculations of strategists and statesmen, and often dictated the course of campaigns. The age was one of almost constant conflict and this book, originally published in 1985, explores the influence of the fortress in the dynastic wars of Bourbon, Habsburg and Hohenzollern, the contest for influence in the Baltic, the last crusades of the West against the Turks, and in the peculiar conditions of colonial campaigning and the War of the American Independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Duffy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113892458X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138924581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Duffy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087792845055,"sku":"9781138924581","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41494606-f8cb-413a-b829-305c7e7ccbdc.jpg?v=1769101409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fortress-in-the-age-christopher-duffy-9781138924581","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
