The Thirty Years War was one of the most devastating conflicts in European history. In this detailed history, Friedrich von Schiller provides a comprehensive account of the political and military events that led to the war, as well as its aftermath. He examines the complex web of alliances, religious tensions, and power struggles that shaped the course of the conflict, and offers insights into the political landscape of 17th century Europe.
