Is there an online source where I can read Michael Roberts’ essay “The Military Revolution, 1560–1660” as reprinted in his Essays in Swedish History (1967)?

I know Roberts’ seminal essay was revised and reprinted in his 1967 collection Essays in Swedish History. I prefer to cite this later version, but my library’s physical copy is missing. Are there any legitimate e?book platforms or academic databases that offer a digital version of this specific collection? I’ve checked common sites without success and want to avoid unofficial scans if possible.

The 1967 collection Essays in Swedish History is not widely available as a standalone e?book, but the revised essay appears in other commonly digitized volumes. The most accessible digital source is the 1995 edited collection The Military Revolution Debate (edited by Clifford J. Rogers), which includes Roberts’ revised essay and is available on platforms like Google Books (preview) and ProQuest Ebook Central. Many university libraries have this volume electronically. If you require the exact 1967 pagination, you may need to request a scan through inter?library loan from a library holding the physical book.
