Wallenstein and the Thirty Years' War

The name of Wallenstein is known even to those who are rather vague about the history of the Thirty Years' War. Indeed, the biography of this commander reads like an exciting adventure novel. In his life was everything - a dizzying rise, intrigue, victories and defeats and, finally, tragic death. It is not without reason that the great German poet Friedrich Schiller dedicated one of his main works to Wallenstein. To this day, the question of assessing the personality and activities of this "ideal mercenary" remains very controversial. Was he just an unscrupulous gainer of fame and fortune - or a talented politician who could have directed the development of Germany along a different path? This book provides not only a brief sketch of Wallenstein's biography, but also rich food for thought on his role in European history.
