Re: The Art of War in Italy
First off, welcome to Wikipedia!

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how widely the book is used at the present. Most of the modern historians writing on the topic go to Charles Oman's History of the Art of War in the Sixteenth Century; I haven't seen many citations to Taylor. Given the scarcity of books on the topic, though, I would expect that he's still consulted, if only as further reading. I do recall seeing the book mentioned as a decent introductory work, but I can't quite recall where.

The edition I have was apparently printed as being part of the West Point reading collection, so it's possible the book is (or was) used in some classes there.

If you'd like to email me, you can do so at kirill.lokshin at gmail.com. (In general, the user page of a user that has their email set will have a "E-mail this user" link in the toolbox; you can use that without having to find out their email directly.)

Thanks!
