The Hero of Italy

This work is significant because, unlike many recent studies of early modern military issues, which have treated either operational military history or war and society in isolation, it explicitly links operational military history to its effects on society. Historians of the Thirty Years' War and of the military Revolution will find much of value in it. It is an important step in establishing the Italian theater of the Thirty Years' War as a subject worthy of its own synthetic overview.
