Description
Mark Greengrass is one of Britain's leading historians. He brilliantly analyses the major social, political and cultural developments before and during the Thirty Years' War. He repeatedly places the historical contemporaries at the centre of his narrative, thus creating a vivid picture of this time of upheaval. His masterful portrayal allows us to understand what underlies Europe's identity today.
Whether peasant or prince, no one remained untouched by the social upheavals of the 16th century. Martin Luther's declaration of war on the Catholic authorities shook the foundations of the Christian religion. The religious wars and the struggle for supremacy in Europe, but also European expansion and the scientific revolution transformed the entire continent. The idea of a united Western Christian religious community had to give way. Europe as we know it today came into being.
