Thirty Years' War

The first edition of "The Thirty Years' War" offered a survey of a central period in European history. It has established itself as the classic text with reviewers, students and general readers. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to include the latest research. The updated bibliographical information alone provides an invaluable resource, synthesizing the major work in the field in all languages down to 1996. Written with great clarity, the book brings alive the period in all its aspects. It covers the horrors of the war and the contorted politics of the period. It deals with all the major figures, including Wallenstein and Richelieu, Gustavus Adolphus and Tilly, the Winter King and the Habsburg emperors. For range and depth of coverage there is no other work like it.
