From 1618 to 1648 Christian princes waged the first pan-European
war. Brought about in part by the entrenched passions of the
Reformation and Counter Reformation, the Thirty Years War
inevitably drew in the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, who stood at
the vanguard of Catholic reform. This book investigates the
Jesuits' role during the war at the four Catholic courts of Vienna,
Munich, Paris and Madrid and the challenge to the Jesuit superior
general in Rome to lead a truly international organisation through
a period of rising international conflict. War goals varied and
changed at the courts as the conflict progressed. Advocates of
'holy war' contended with moderates, or politiques. This book
brings to light the extent to which the Thirty Years War was a
religious war and it shows how ideas about the proper relationship
between religion and politics shifted under the pressure of events.
