"…will be of great use to undergraduates, but there is enough for the specialist as well." - European History Quarterly, "In addition to their introductory overview, the editors (professors of history at the U. of Montana and Kansas State U.) present five chapters documenting civilian experiences of war in Europe, sequentially covering the Thirty Years War of 1618-1648, Early Modern Europe of 1648-1789, the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars, and the Modern Europe of 1815-1900. The essays describe the effects of plundering and looting by armies, the creation of refugee populations, war-related hunger and disease, the unleashing of conscious terror by contending forces, conscription and its impacts, and even cultural consequences of war." - Reference & Research Book News, "In addition to their introductory overview, the editors (professors of history at the U. of Montana and Kansas State U.) present five chapters documenting civilian experiences of war in Europe, sequentially covering the Thirty Years War of 1618-1648, Early Modern Europe of 1648-1789, the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars, and the Modern Europe of 1815-1900.

The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.
