The Thirty Years War (1618-48) was the most destructive European
conflict prior to the twentieth century. It reduced the population
of central Europe by around a quarter and left thousands of towns
and villages in ruins. This uniquely comprehensive collection of
translated documents covers all aspects of the war in the words and
images of those who directly experienced it, from the key political
and military decision-makers, through the middling ranks of
officers and envoys to the masses of ordinary soldiers and
civilians, laity and clergy, women and men. Most of the material
appears in English for the first time, including a variety of
previously unpublished archival sources, all reproduced in their
full original length. The wide range of sources covered includes:
state documents treatises diplomatic and private correspondence
diaries financial records artistic evidence Thematically organised,
the material is supported by an authoritative introduction, a guide
to further reading and a full chronology, as well as extensive
annotations explaining terms and points of detail. The rich source
material and essential context that this book provides make it an
invaluable resource for students and anyone interested in European
and military history.
