Initially, the Thirty Years War was precipitated in 1618 by religious conflicts between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire. But the conflict soon spread beyond religion to encompass the internal politics and balance of power within the Empire, and then later to the other European powers. By the end, it became simply a dynastic struggle between Bourbon France and Habsburg Spain. And almost all of it was fought out in Germany. After 30 years of conflict, entire regions of Germany and Bohemia were depopulated and destroyed by marching armies, fire, famine, and disease. It bankrupted most of the participants while leaving thousands of German villages, towns, and even cities in smoldering ruin.
Because of the political and geographical complexity of the early 17th century, an understanding of The Thirty Years War can be difficult to grasp in the beginning. Listeners will be rewarded by patience. As an aid to comprehension, we recommend the online Wikipedia article "The Thirty Years War" for maps and overviews of the geography, principle leaders, and major battles.

Where does The Thirty Years War rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's a bit dated compared to more recently written war histories. The sweeping one-line characterizations of personalities and moods would be rare in a modern history, for example. But the book is clearly an incredibly thoroughly-researched masterpiece, and really transports you into the strange, chaotic era of the 30 Years' War.A bit dated but a masterful classic nonetheless

Thorough and Well Written

Written in the best of the British historical tradition, with all of the commentary and incisive wit one could hope for.
This is not light reading or light history. The names fly by and so do the years. But you'll close the book remembering the right names and ready to keep digging and learning more.

What did you like best about The Thirty Years War? What did you like least?
I like the era and the evolution of government that occurred in Germany. I disliked the lack of coherent narrative or point of view and I found the performance distracting as the narrator lapses in an out of Churchillian delivery–without a corresponding Churchillian sense of timing.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
