Excellent Account of the Thirty Years War and Beyond, Aug 26 2009
By Aussie Reader ""Rick"" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gustavus Adolphus: A History of the Art of War from Its Revival After the Middle Ages to the End of the Spanish Succession War, With a Detailed Account of the Campaigns (Hardcover)
This book, first published in 1895, offers the reader an interesting account of the Swedish King, Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632) and his role as a commander during the Thirty Years' War. The book is illustrated with numerous maps and line drawings, although the maps are a bit hard to read at times but sufficient to get an idea of the movements being described.The book continues past the death of Gustavus Adolphus and the end of the Thirty Years' War to look at his influence upon the great captains who followed, including such commanders as the French leaders; Turenne and Condé and also the partnership of Eugene and Marlborough. Overall this is an delightful book to read for those interested in this little covered period and even though the style of writing takes a little time to get use to its well worth the effort.
