The Thirty Years War--the first great pan-European war, and until the twentieth century the most terrible--ravaged Germany, but myth, propaganda, and historical controversy have obscured its true nature. Another perspective is provided by the private diaries, memoirs, and chronicles of soldiers and citizens who recorded their own experiences. War at the individual level is discussed and described using these sources, which are extensively quoted in their own words.Mortimer, Geoff is the author of 'Eyewitness Accounts Of The Thirty Years War 1618-48', published 0016 under ISBN 9781403939029 and ISBN 1403939020.
