The Founding of the Dutch Republic: War, Finance, and Politics in Holland, 1572-1588
ISBN: 9780199209118 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1572, towns in the province of Holland, led by William of Orange, rebelled against the government of the Habsburg Netherlands. The story of the Dutch Revolt is usually told in terms of fractious provinces that frustrated Orange's efforts to formulate a coherent programme. In this book James D. Tracy argues that there was a coherent strategy for the war, but that it was set by the towns of Holland. Although the States of Holland were in theory subject to the States General, Holland provided over 60 per cent of the taxes and an even larger share of war loans. Accordingly, funds were directed...

Part I focuses on the educational and religious reform proposals of a native son, Erasmus...

Balkan Wars: Habsburg Croatia, Ottoman Bosnia, and Venetian Dalmatia, 1499-1617
ISBN: 9781442213586 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Distinguished scholar James D. Tracy shows how the Ottoman advance across Europe stalled in the western Balkans, where three great powers confronted one another in three adjoining provinces: Habsburg Croatia, Ottoman Bosnia, and Venetian Dalmatia. Until about 1580, Bosnia was a platform for Ottoman expansion, and Croatia steadily lost territory, while Venice focused on protecting the Dalmatian harbors vital for its trade with the Ottoman east. But as Habsburg-Austrian elites coalesced behind military reforms, they stabilized Croatia's frontier, while Bosnia shifted its attention to trade, and...

Emperor Charles V, Impresario of War: Campaign Strategy, International Finance, and Domestic Politics
ISBN: 9780521147668 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the three dimensions of European warfare, based on the campaigns of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558). Charles's role as commander-in-chief is evaluated by measuring his strategic aims. The process by which bankers took control of the finances of the Habsburg lands becomes clear from an examination of the source of the money to pay for Charles's campaigns. Finally, a comparison of the realms that provided most of Charles's revenues shows how some parliamentary bodies successfully pursued long-term local interests by exploiting the dynasty's need for money.
