Tridtsatiletniaia voina - Vedzhvud Sesili Veronika

S.W. Wedgwood is the author of a number of works about 17th century Europe and one of the most famous and popular historians of Great Britain, presents an exhaustive chronicle of the Thirty Years' War with its main battles and main participants. In living and bright colors it depicts Europe of 1618, torn by contradictions between Catholics and Protestants; Bourbons and Habsburgs; between empires, kingdoms and countless small states. After angry Protestants threw three members of the Holy Roman Empire out of the windows of the royal castle in Prague, an uprising broke out and the war spread inexorably from Bohemia across Europe, involving countries from Spain to Sweden a nightmarish merry-go-round of hunger, epidemics and endless chaos.
