Lee, The Thirty Years War

Abstract

Read Lee before reading Lee. Stephen J. Lee is Head of History at Bromsgrove School and the author of two books: the two volume Aspects of European History (second edition, 1984) and European Dictatorships, 1918-1945 (1987). If you are planning to purchase The Thirty Years War, you should first read his earlier thoughts on the subject in Aspects of European History, 1494-1789 (pp. 101-23). In three brief chapters, Aspects describes the major issues involved, the controversy over the impact on Germany, and the importance of the Treaty of Westphalia.
