Matthew Glozier is Honorary Research Associate at the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Sydney, and the author of The Huguenot Soldiers of William of Orange and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 ("an important and innovative contribution to Dutch military historiography as well as Huguenot studies," H-Albion).
"Glozier's study is most impressive in its reconstruction of the
Huguenot community. His book has a prosopographical approach and
contains a treasury of biographical information, based upon which
the author analyzes the social and religious background of the
soldiers... an important and innovative contribution to Dutch
military historiography as well as Huguenot studies and may prove
an important incentive to study this topic in more depth." --
H-Albion.
"This book's particular merit lies in its international scope and
its focus on Huguenot officers serving William in the Netherlands
and Ireland... Discusses a worthwhile and neglected subject." --
Albion.
