Peter Hamish Wilson

Argues that religion was not the catalyst to the Thirty Years War, but one element in a mix of political, social, and dynastic forces that fed the conflict that ultimately transformed the map of the modern world.

Europe's Tragedy

The Thirty Years War

Peter H. Wilson

Chichele Professor of the History of War Peter H Wilson, Professor PhD

A deadly continental struggle, the Thirty Years War devastated seventeenth-century Europe, killing nearly a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to towns and countryside alike. In a major reassessment, Wilson argues that religion was not the catalyst,but one element in a lethal stew of political, social, and dynastic forces that fed the conflict--a conflict that ultimately transformed the map of the modern world.

Nikita Barsukov

One of the definitive volumes of Thirty Years War in English. 

Rather long, but lacks heavy academic style and rather easy to read. Extremely dense book on the other hand. If you're a fan of highlighting and writing notes on margins, prepare to fill most of the white space.
