Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus in Germany and Other Lectures on the Thirty Years War Very much has been done to throw light on the history of the Thirty Years' War, since the time when Schiller published what is still the main source of information about it for the ordinary reader (1790 and whenever Mr. Motley addresses himself to this closing por tion of that immense task which he has undcr taken - and he has announced his intention of carrying on his work to the end of this War - he will find a vast amount of material collected and partially wrought uptohis hand. This, however, from all reports, is little to that which is still waiting its time in the archives of Vienna, of Berlin, of Dresden, of Prague, of Stockholm, and above all, of Simncas, not to speak of 'vveimar and Cassel and other of the smaller capitals of Gamay, Within the last few years new Lines of almost, all the chief actors in. The War have been published; as of Gustavus Adolphus, use of Swedish materials, unused, as he states, by preceding historians of Wallenstein, by Ranke (1869) of Tilly, by Klopp (1861) of Bernard of Saxe Weimar, by Rose (1829) of the Emperor Ferdinand the Second, by Hurter (1850 of Ferdinand the Third, by Koch of Amalia of Hesse Cassel, by Rommel (18 Gindely, well known for his researches in Bohemian history, has undertaken to tell the whole story of the War in good part from sources hitherto unexplored but has fallen into the mistake which few who have the first access to new materials escape; lingering so long over the Bohemian troubles that it is difficult to say to what length the book, if ever completed, may extend, the first volume bringing us but a little way beyond the Fenster sturz.' The part which Brandenburg played in the struggle was very small: but Prussia as it now is makes interesting the most inglorious periods of its past history and all which any can want to know of its dismal share in the business is excellently told us by J.

In 1856 - 59; a large portion of Chemnitz's semi-official Swedish ac count of the War, which had hitherto remained in manuscript, was published at Stockholm, reaching from May 1641 to June 1646, this the more valuable as a great fire in Stockholm (1697) had destroyed many of the original documents.068.

Explore the epic conflict and contrasting leadership styles of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland, two titanic figures in the Thirty Years War whose strategic brilliance and dramatic deaths shaped the course of modern warfare, analyzed in vivid detail by the author. The conflict, personal rivalry and contrast in personality, generalship and command, between the two iconic commanders in the Thirty Years War, King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden for the Protestant powers, and Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland. More than just commanders at the tactical level they were statesmen, military organizers and strategists on a continental scale. Both commanders represented the 17th-century ‘military revolution in action’. The writing is vivid, graphic and detailed, without overloading, and readers can feel ‘involved’ in the action, from strategic planning to battlefield tactics, and even the melee. Both generals are titanic figures come, and their respective deaths - Gustavus heroically in battle and Wallenstein, murdered with the Emperor’s compliance – were dramatic highpoints in the long war. This is no hagiography, and the author analyses the contrasting reputations of two of the greatest military figures in modern history and analyses mistakes as well their triumphs. Both commanders’ understanding of the role of the modern state and finance as vital factors in the military revolution and modern warfare. A major contrast was Gustavus’s constant search for the tactical and strategic initiative compared to Wallenstein’s caution and patience and development of counter-punch defensive tactics. Exceptional for the period, a young warrior like an ‘Alexander’, Gustavus excelled in inspired battlefield leadership even at huge risk. Despite his death at Lutzen in 1632, he and his steadfast chancellor Oxenstierna, had decisively defeated the Emperor’s attempt to subjugate the Empire and introduce the Catholic counter-reformation. Gustavus contributed hugely to the ending of Habsburg supremacy while advancing new concepts in modern war. His death ushered in his acolytes including generals Baner, Saxe-Weimar and Torstensson. Gustavus or Wallenstein, the greater of the two? The reader must judge but Napoleon included Gustavus in his list of ten greats with Julius Caesar, Hannibal Barca, and Alexander the Great.
