An authoritative study of the social, political and military impact of the Thirty Years' War, written by the distinguished Czech historian J. V. Polišenský.
Drawing extensively upon Central European archival sources, the book examines the origins, conduct and consequences of one of Europe's most destructive conflicts, exploring the relationship between warfare, politics, religion and society across the Holy Roman Empire and neighbouring states. Particular attention is given to the Bohemian Revolt, the international dimensions of the conflict and the transformation of seventeenth-century European society.
Includes maps, extensive scholarly references and a guide to archival sources, making it an important work for students, historians and collectors of early modern military history.
