Eyewitness Accounts of the Thirty Years War 1618-48 by G Mortimer

The Thirty Years War - the first great pan-European war, and until the twentieth century the most terrible - ravaged Germany, but myth, propaganda and historical controversy have obscured its true nature. Another perspective is provided by the private diaries, memoirs and chronicles of soldiers and citizens who recorded their own experiences. War at the individual level is discussed and described using these sources, which are extensively quoted in their own words.

'To sum up, the book is brimming with good ideas and informationIn its class, it will not be superseded for years.' - Dr Peter Edwards, University of Surrey

'The writing is crisp and well organized...' - R.E. Schreiber, Choice
