Fortcoming Books, HUP @HelsinkiUPress "The Business of War in the Early Modern Baltic Sea Region 1530–1765." Edited by Jaakko Björklund, Sebastian Schiavone, Steve Murdoch, and Anu Lahtinen

The business of war—meaning the commercial supply, financing, and organisation of soldiers and materiel for armies and navies—was one of the predominant economic sectors in early modern Europe. This edited volume provides the first holistic overview of continuity and change within this business in and from the Baltic Sea region over the course of three centuries. With contributions from sixteen international scholars, it explores various forms of entrepreneurship and the broader social, economic, political, and military significance of the interaction between public and private actors in the supply of war.
