Die Militärische Revolution by Geoffrey Parker
Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500–1800
The book argues that between the early modern centuries a suite of interrelated military innovations — widespread adoption of gunpowder weapons, new fortification designs and siege warfare, changes in tactics and the growth of standing, professional armies — fundamentally transformed how wars were fought, forcing states to develop larger bureaucracies and stronger fiscal systems to support them; these changes in turn reshaped political power and helped enable the rise and overseas expansion of certain European states.
