This volume contains ten essays from the first four years of a seminar held at High Point U. in honor of military historian Gunther E. Rothenberg, whose career focus was on early modern European history and often focused on the ability or inability of hegemonic states to project their power, the core theme of this volume. Some of the specific topics the papers address include: honorable surrender during the wars of Louis XIV; Italy, Piedmont, and French anti-Hapsburg strategy, 1690-1748; Prussia's military dialectic from Hubertusberg to Waterloo; aspects of military and operational effectiveness of the armies of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia in 1813; the global context of the Napoleonic wars; and the character of the Thirty Years War.
