I'm looking for some interesting non-fiction titles about late-medieval to late renaissance warfare, specifically on hand-gonne and arquebus tactics. Think around 1400-1660, give or take a few decades. Got anything? I've been reading Norman Cantor's The Last Knight, which is a biography of John of Gaunt that has a chapter or two on the military of the late medieval period, but I'm looking for something a little bit deeper.

Hello literate folks. I've got me a serious war-on right now and need some war-porn to satisfy my base and cruel urges. I'm looking exciting fights gouts of blood and perhaps C-beams glittering off the Tannhauser Gate and all that fun stuff. Any era of human history or sci-fi/fantasy would be fine. I don't care about contrived circumstances or cardboard characters so long as the fights are epic in the Homeric sense. Lowest-common-denominator stuff like the works of John Ringo is fine, too but I really don't like sex scenes getting in the way of my tanks and legionaries and explosions and aliens being blown up so thoroughly that their skeletons act as shrapnel.
