I've been somewhat quiet these last few weeks as there were things to do... Yesterday, I finally presented my #research on #earlymodern #siege #warfare to the faculty at @unibwm. #HabilKolloquium

Was warfare in the era of "cabinet warfare" and #Enlightenment becoming more humane? A #microhistory inquiry reveals that the practices of siege warfare remained horrendous (as they still are!), but also that sensibilities for this suffering were raised - and even voiced by practitioners of war.
