And the Imperial League Army in the First Half of the Thirty Years' War. When the Thirty Years' War was triggered by the Defenestration of Prague, Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim was a simple, lowly official at the imperial court. Within a very short time he rose to become one of the most important cavalry leaders in this conflict. He, who had previously had no military training, developed a great thirst for action and an insatiable ambition, which made him lend his sword soon to the League, soon to the Emperor. This book not only traces Pappenheim's career, but also sheds light on the army system of the League and the imperial army until the field marshal's death at the Battle of Lützen.
