"This book [was] written to counterbalance those accounts that see the [Thirty Years'] War as a parade of campaigns, battles, and states. The author shows people coping with the rigours of war. His book spans the range of human ingenuity, from the production of worldly goods to the most subtle products of human reason and unreason. The glory and misery of the Thirty Years' War lies spread before us"--Jacket
