About this title

Review:

..."with this book as our guide, we are now in a position to understand more fully the long 'European Civil War' which did much to shape the course of the history of the continent as a whole."-"History Today "This new book...is most welcome: thorough, scholarly, up-to-date, it makes the murky period as clear as anything ever will...It is a swift-moving general account that misses no essentials, while not allowing itself to get bogged down in details."-"Wilson Library Bulletin "The book successfully provides a clear and balanced...explanation of what happened between 1618 and 1648...this is political history in the classic mold."-"The Sixteenth Century Journal "The best book we have on the Thirty Years' War."-"History Teaching Review "A judicious, lively, enlightening and, above all, highly serviceable work for which scholars, students and the general public will be grateful."-"Times Literary Supplement
