"Excellent comprehensive view of a critical period in European history. . . fascinating take on various central figures, i.e. Emperor Ferdinand, Wallenstein. . . .
exceptionally well written, even though the subject is complicated. . .stay with it and the confusions dissipate. . ."
"Reads like the history book it is. If you want an understanding of the 30 Year War in Germany this is the book for you. It is helpful it you have a good map of Germany in the time beside you as you read."
"C.V. Wedgwood paints a vivid portrait of the political, religious and social underpinnings of the Thirty Years War. She is neutral in her portrayal of each of the factions treating none with favor. For the person looking to understand the social impact of the war in Europe this is a great book. For those in search of vexillology or numismatic references this is not the book for you. Nor does it delve into strategy and tactics for the military historian. Still an exciting read that gives prevalent insight into European polotics of today."
