There are very few books available about the Great Italian Wars, and of the ones that are available this is amongst the very best. I had read a copy from the library a few years ago and have been after my own copy since. I was therefore really pleased to get this copy. My interest is obviously slanted towards the early period covered by this book, but as the book is one of the few to cover this period and is a source of so much information it is a good read and can be warmly recommended.
