I am happy to report that my latest publication on military contractors in the French Wars of Religion is finally in print. This is a chapter in a collective volume on Die Kapitalisierung des Krieges / The Capitalization of War.

Here is the full citation:

Brian Sandberg, “‘Avarice Never Made Him Unsheathe a Mercenary Sword’: Military Contractors in the French Wars of Religion, 1562–1629,” in Die Kapitalisierung des Krieges: Kriegsunternehmer in Spätmittelalter und Früher Neuzeit, ed. Matthias Meinhardt and Markus Meumann (Berlin: LIT Verlag, 2021), 85-104. 

This chapter is published in a collective volume that grew out of a conference on Die Kapitalisierung des Krieges / The Capitalization of War, held at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin in 2009.

The collective volume includes works on warfare, war finance, and political economy in the early modern period. The essays are written in English and German languages and cover a range of topics on war, culture, and society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The citation for the collective volume is:

Matthias Meinhardt and Markus Meumann, eds., Die Kapitalisierung des Krieges: Kriegsunternehmer in Spätmittelalter und Früher Neuzeit, (Berlin: LIT Verlag, 2021).

A preview of the book is now available on Google Books.
