Abstract

Piotr Tafiłowski’s book covers the Italian Wars (1494–1559), in which the Valois and Habsburg dynasties contested dominance over Italy. Maintaining a “French perspective,” the author examines the reigns of Charles VIII, Louis XII, Francis I, and Henry II, detailing military campaigns, leadership, and political strategies. Drawing on current scholarship, the work provides comprehensive battle accounts, biographies of commanders, and anecdotes, highlighting both the military and political dynamics of the conflict and its impact on France’s European position and Italy’s changing role.
