The battlefield of 17th Century Europe
On land, the Thirty Years War was fought primarily in Germany. It
was one of the most destructive conflicts Europe has experienced,
as great areas were laid waste by warfare and by foraging armies.
It was a religious war between Catholics and Protestants, but
inevitably the political interests of those embroiled within it
played no small part. The French Bourbons, the Hapsburgs and the
emergent Swedish empire clashed in a series of bloody conflicts in
the heart of the continent which are detailed and analysed within
this book. As the century drew to a close a new conflict impacted
upon the region. The War of the Spanish Succession drew new
protagonists onto the battlefield. Perhaps most notable among them
was one of Britain's most famous soldiers-John Churchill, Duke of
Marlborough. His campaign and victory at Blenheim-an example of
military genius-concludes this fascinating book
