Some even went so far as to rule the cities themselves. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary depictions and original artwork, this title examines the complex military organization, recruitment, training, and armament of the condottieri. With insights into their origins and motivations, author Dr. David Murphy brings together the social, political, and military history of these powerful and unscrupulous men who managed to influence Italian society and warfare for over two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e The authors: \u003cbr\u003eDr. David Murphy was born in Dublin in 1968 and graduated from both University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin.
