Description

A careful examination of the development of infantry tactics from the late sixteenth to middle seventeenth century.

Throughout the 17th century, large parts of Europe were depopulated during the wide-ranging and savage wars of religion and dynasty, involving all of the major powers. This was therefore a key period in the development of 'modern' infantry tactics, such as the use of pole-arms and muskets together, hence the popular expression pike and shot.

These infantry tactics involved different national schools of thought and practice, and were tested bloodily in great battles.

Pike and Shot Tactics 1590–1660 covers the Dutch-Spanish wars of independence, The Thirty Years' War, and the English Civil Wars.
