{"product_id":"the-military-revolution-in-early-frank-jacob-9781137539175","title":"The Military Revolution in Early Modern Europe: A Revision","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book challenges the premise that a 'military revolution' prompted the major European powers to enter into an era of global hegemony during the early modern period, and suggests that this theory is not supported if we closely examine contemporary historical events. The conquests of Mexico and Peru, arguably the two most important colonial acquisitions by a European power during that era, were accomplished without the technology or tactics that are usually associated with the 'military revolution'. On the other hand, Japan, Korea, some Indian states and the Ottoman Empire implemented military reforms, both tactical and technological, that are commonly associated with what was considered an exclusively Western approach to warfare. By comparing case studies of the Western and the non-Western world, Frank Jacob and Gilmar Visoni-Alonzo show that the concept of such a 'military revolution' is a myth perpetuated by a Eurocentric perspective on history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Jacob,Gilmar Visoni-Alonzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137539178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137539175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.31d","brand":"Frank Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087674650879,"sku":"9781137539175","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc8c7ec8-f331-4e41-bb53-f3ef46db855d.jpg?v=1769100774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-military-revolution-in-early-frank-jacob-9781137539175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
