The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the 'new military history', which emphasised military organization - mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics - rather than military 'events' such as sieges and battles. Geoffrey Parker studies one of the great logistical feats of early modern Europe: how Habsburg Spain managed to maintain and mobilise the largest army in Europe in an 80-year effort to suppress the Dutch Revolt, 700 miles away. Using a unique combination of surviving records, he presents the logistical problems of fighting wars in early modern Europe, and demonstrates why Spain failed to suppress the Dutch Revolt. The book has been constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch). This revised second edition includes some new sources and updates some references but otherwise remains faithful to the original version.

Media en communicatie speelden een onmisbare rol in de Nederlandse Opstand. Op grote schaal zetten de betrokken partijen verschillende media in om een breed publiek te betrekken bij de gebeurtenissen. Zo kon een levendig publiek debat ontstaan over de politieke en religieuze ontwikkelingen. Dat debat, waarin lokale thema’s en actoren een doorslaggevende rol speelden, bepaalde in belangrijke mate de politieke agenda. De opstandelingen onder leiding van Willem van Oranje gebruikten met veel succes verschillende media tijdens hun strijd tegen de Spanjaarden. Femke Deen onderzocht hoe de partijen op lokaal niveau communicatiemiddelen inzetten voor eigen doeleinden, waaruit blijkt hoe uitgekiend hun mediastrategieën waren. Ook laat ze zien dat de vorm en inhoud van het debat voor een belangrijk deel werden bepaald door lokale aspecten. De bestaande machtsverhoudingen in de stad beïnvloedden bijvoorbeeld de mate waarin de partijen het debat konden beheersen. Ook lieten de partijen zich leiden door lokale sentimenten en angsten bij hun keuze voor media en boodschappen. Door deze constante blootstelling aan politieke argumenten, ontstond uiteindelijk een kritisch en goed geïnformeerd publiek.

Dagomar Degroot offers the first detailed analysis of how a society thrived amid the Little Ice Age, a period of climatic cooling that reached its chilliest point between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The precocious economy, unusual environment, and dynamic intellectual culture of the Dutch Republic in its seventeenth-century Golden Age allowed it to thrive as neighboring societies unraveled in the face of extremes in temperature and precipitation. By tracing the occasionally counterintuitive manifestations of climate change from global to local scales, Degroot finds that the Little Ice Age presented not only challenges for Dutch citizens but also opportunities that they aggressively exploited in conducting commerce, waging war, and creating culture. The overall success of their Republic in coping with climate change offers lessons that we would be wise to heed today, as we confront the growing crisis of global warming.
