Reviews

’Glozier and Onnekink have edited a volume of stimulating essays... The book adds to our knowledge of professional soldiers of early modem Europe, specifically those motivated (like Scots Protestants and Irish Roman Catholics) to pursue military careers outside of their native lands... The volume has an array of supporting materials. In addition to an index, footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography there are a few illustrations. ... The book will hopefully serve not only to introduce readers to the impact of Huguenot soldiers (especially officers) on European armies, but will also inspire further research.’ Seventeenth-Century News
