EUROPE'S TRAGEDY: A HISTORY OF THE THIRTY YEARS WAR
Published by Allen Lane. 1st. 2009
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The horrific series of conflicts known as the Thirty Years War (1618-48) tore the heart out of Europe, killing perhaps a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to whole areas of Central Europe to such a degree that many towns and regions never recovered. The extraordinary narrative of the war haunted Europe's leaders into the twentieth century and modern Europe cannot be understood without reference to this dreadful conflict. Burgundy boards, gilt title to spine. Map of Central Europe 1618 to endpapers. Colour plates. xxii and 996 pages including index.
Light rubbing to base of spine. Text block slightly grubby. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly rubbed to lower edge. A very decent copy.
