For the purposes of this volume, amphibious warfare is defined as the form of warfare in which land-based and waterborne forces cooperate against an enemy. According to Trim (U. of London, UK) and Fissel (U. of California at Berkeley, US), between 1000 and 1700 AD, "amphibious (or `combined' or `joint') operations were conducted with ever increasing frequency and sophistication--especially (though not only) by the nascent nation-states of Christendom." While the ten historical essays they present examining amphibious warfare within this temporal and geographic area are primarily military history, focusing on tactics, operational art, strategy, and logistics, as well as developments in military and naval institutions and technology; they also consider the influence of amphibious warfare on commercial development, state formation, and European expansion.
