Alongside the Reformation, the Peasants' War forms the threshold to the modern era. Unlike the reformers, however, its protagonists were unable to push through their demands, some of which sounded modern. The peasants' uprising was bloodily suppressed. The Peasants' War has always been interpreted ideologically - even at the time, according to Thomas Kaufmann, it was primarily a media event. Through comprehensive source studies, Kaufmann exposes ideological distortions and presents a captivating reinterpretation of this important event. With passion and expertise, he gives readers a completely new perspective on the Peasants' War. An analysis that not only sheds light on the past, but also reshapes our view of the present and future.
