A classic study of the Condottieri - the tough and brutal mercenaries hired by Italy's city states as they vied for control of the country while Italy's artists were creating the masterpieces of the Renaissance.

Glamourised as the Condottieri - the mercenaries who roamed Italy during the Renaissance were as tough and brutal a body of men as any soldiers in history. While the artists of the Renaissance were making Italy a byword in civilisation with their paintings and sculpture, its soldiers for hjre were waging ceaseless and savage civil warfare as rival city states vied for control of the divided country. Michael Mallett's classic study, published a generation ago, is still the definitive account of the Condottieri, their commanders and the cities who hired them. Essential reading for anyone interested in Italian history, and students of warfare in the late Medieval and early modern period.
