War, Religion and Service: Huguenot Soldiering, 1685 1713 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138275751)

The book addresses the role of the Huguenots as an international force both before and after the infamous Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 - an overlooked aspect of Early Modern soldiering. The Huguenots were of great importance internationally in armies and this book seeks to redress that scholarly imbalance by focusing on French Protestant soldiers individually and as a group. It also presents a number of thematic and biographical studies that offer a useful insight into the unique experience of one of Europe's best-known contemporary minorities and (later on) the people that gave the word 'refugee' to the English language.
