In the new edition of this classic book, Geoffrey Parker draws on
material from all over Europe to provide an authoritative and
exciting account of the eventful first half of the seventeenth
century. The continent enjoyed scarcely a year of peace during this
period. Instead revolution, civil war and complex international
conflicts brought many states to the edge of collapse in the
1640s.
Professor Parker examines three crucial conflicts: the desperate
struggle of the Habsburgs with France and the Dutch Republic; the
rivalry of Sweden, Denmark, Russia and Poland for control of the
Baltic, and the confrontation between the Austrian Habsburgs and
their subjects which escalated into the Thirty Years' War. He also
illuminates the leading social, economic and intellectual
developments of the period.
The new edition has been revised throughout and includes an
updated bibliography.
