More than three and a half centuries have passed since the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War (1618-48), but this most devastating of wars in the early modern period continues to capture the imagination of readers: this book reveals why.
The Thirty Years War was one of the first wars where contemporaries stressed the importance of atrocities, the horrors of the fighting and also the sufferings of the civilian population. It remains a conflict of key importance in the history of the development of warfare and the 'military revolution'.
The Osprey Guide To... series is a reworking of the popular Essential Histories series, now available as non-illustrated eBooks at a fantastic low price.
The maps and text remain the same, giving a strong historical overview of some of the most important conflicts and theatres of war from the ancient world through to modern times.
