Geoffrey Parker, "The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road 1567-1659. The Logistics of Spanish Victory and Defeat in the Low Countries' Wars"
Cambridge University Press | 1972 | ISBN 0521099072 | 309 pages PDF | 112 and 135 MB
Dr Parker examines why Spain, the most powerful state of post-Renaissance Europe, failed to suppress the Dutch Revolt. This was the first attempt to see the Revolt from the Spanish point of view. The author considers in particular the Army of Flanders, the principal instrument of Spanish policy in the Netherlands, basing his account on the army's own records. Pay, transportation, recruiting, and mutinies are examined in this distinguished and lucid book.
