As such, this book evaluates and challenges these narratives of the wars by tackling historical debates through the lens of these logistics and supply systems at an operational level. How the military logistics and supply systems of the period functioned is revealed, including what methods of supply were used, what decisions and events these systems impacted, and how these related to strategic and tactical outcomes of the wars. The book investigates the facets of land, coastal, and riverine transportation, the supply of manpower to the armies, and the supply of food, clothing, and shelter to multiple forces across various conflicts throughout the British Civil Wars. With an application of a broad range of both civilian and military sources, this research employs archival and manuscript materials from national and local archives across the British Isles, contemporary tracts, letters, books, and pamphlets, as well as secondary literature from a variety of historical fields-from military history, economic and social studies, as well as reconstructive archaeology.","brand":"NATIONWIDE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41974662955141,"sku":"PR450362","price":102.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/soldiers-and-civilians-transport-and-provisions-early-modern-military-logistics-and-supply-systems-during-the-british-civil-wars-1638-1653_TU6A1BENPIOU.jpg?v=1791760567","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/soldiers-and-civilians-transport-and-provisions","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
