Using the ecosystem concept as his starting point, the author examines the complex relationship between premodern armed forces and their environment at three levels: landscapes, living beings, and diseases. The study focuses on Europe’s Meuse Region, well-known among historians of war as a battleground between France and Germany. By analyzing soldiers’ long-term interactions with nature, this book engages with current debates about the ecological impact of the military, and provides new impetus for contemporary armed forces to make greater effort to reduce their environmental footprint.This book is available as Open Access.

Several aspects of the book make it stand out. Its tight geographical focus allows meaningful analysis over an ambitious timeframe. It engages important debates in the history of warfare without losing ecosystems along the way. And it uses a wide range of sources, incorporating medieval materials as thoroughly as early modern ones. Each chapter provides thoughtful definitions of potentially amorphous terms, like region, ecology, soldier and biotic communities.
