Warriors for a Living
In Warriors for a Living, Idan Sherer examines the experience of the Spanish infantry during the formative period of the Italian Wars.

This led to much debate on its future and function within the historical discipline as a whole. Some critics declared it dead altogether. Others have proposed a change of direction and a more or less exclusive focus on images and texts. The most constructive proposals have suggested that labour history in the past concentrated too much on class and that other identities of working people should be taken into account to a larger extent than they had been previously, such as gender, religion, and ethnici...
