The Thirty Years WarDoubleday, 1961 - 520 من الصفحات Europe in 1618 was riven between Protestants and Catholics, Bourbon and Hapsburg- as well as empires, kingdom, and countless principalities. After angry Protestants tossed three representatives of teh Holy Roman Empire out the window of the royal castle in Prague, world war spread from Bohemia with wild abandon, drawing powers from Spain to Sweden into a nightmarish world of famine, disease, and seemingly unstoppable destruction. Wedgwood analyzes the complex events, personages, and implications of the war. |
