Few military figures of the early modern period are as legendary as Wallenstein, the imperial generalissimo from Bohemia. This biography shows the general of the Thirty Years' War beyond the cult of military genius as an entrepreneur who (among others) finally sought a very special field of business and revolutionised it in a certain way: war. Political and military engagement intertwine here under the auspices of an economic rationale.
Correspondingly, this biography is not one of great battles, but one of negotiating tables, promissory notes and supply chains. Hiram Kümper consistently opens up this new perspective on Wallenstein's actions as a politician and military man.
