Description & Specifications

As one of the foremost military commanders of the early seventeenth century, Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, played a vital role in defending the Protestant cause during the Thirty Years' War. Over the course of two years - between 1630 and 1632 - he changed the course of the war, winning a decisive victory at the Battle of Breitenfeld and capturing large portions of Germany. However, little has been written about him in English, and no comprehensive account of his remarkable career has been published in recent years. This is why Lars Ericson Wolke's insightful and scholarly study is so valuable.

The book places Gustavus within the context of Swedish and European dynastic politics and the religious conflict of the early seventeenth century and provides a detailed description of Swedish military organization and Gustavus's reforms. His intervention in the Thirty Years' War is covered in detail - the decision to intervene, his alliance with France, his campaigns across Germany, and his strategy in the two main battles he fought there. His outstanding ability as a military commander transformed the fortunes of the Protestant side in the conflict, and he established himself as a significant European figure before his death on the battlefield.

Lars Ericson Wolke, one of the leading experts on Baltic military history and the Thirty Years' War, provides a fascinating perspective on Gustavus as both a man and a soldier.
