A review by alexfink08
The Thirty Years War by C. V. Wedgwood

5.0

Read on if you want to hear about the ISIS equivalents of the 17th century. Although this book would be dramatically improved with some refreshing - footnotes on some Latin phrases Wedgwood clearly expected her more literate 1930s audience to know, and improved maps - she has a clarity of prose that vividly conveys the horror and futility of much of the war. It is interesting too, to see how someone who recently lived through the "Great War", and then WW2, brought that perspective to bear on the 30 Year War.
