Peter H. Wilson’s major history of the Thirty Years’ War examines the political, religious and military forces behind the conflict that devastated much of Central Europe between 1618 and 1648.
Combining a detailed chronological narrative with analysis of diplomacy, dynastic ambition, religious division and battlefield operations, Wilson places the war firmly within its wider European setting. Alongside rulers and commanders such as Ferdinand II, Gustavus Adolphus, Wallenstein and Richelieu, the book considers the experiences of the soldiers and civilians caught up in the fighting.
A substantial and authoritative study, illustrated with colour and black-and-white plates, maps, battle plans, tables and a family tree.
