At their best, these booklets leave you feeling like you've received a concise examination of the topic, spiced up with excellent descriptive art. This number is near the positive end of the spectrum as, even though I'm not a total novice when it comes to the Thirty Years' War, I learned some details that I'd not been previously aware of. Looking at the section for further reading, it's fine so far as it goes, but it doesn't mention the works of Peter H. Wilson (who seems to have become the best current writer on the topic), or David Parrott's "The Business of War," which is an advanced study of the military entrepreneurs of the period.

This history of the Catholic armies of the Hapsburg Empire that fought in the Thirty Years War explores the role of infantry and artillery during the last major religious war in mainland Europe. As the states of the Holy Roman Empire fractured along religious lines, all of Europe was plunged into a bloody conflict that lasted three decades, decimated populations, and annihilated communities. However, amidst this social, political, and religious catastrophe, important changes were experienced within the organization of armed forces. The war saw the end of the large mercenary forces and the beginnings of the well-disciplined national army. This book charts this progression, illustrating and explaining the forces of the key Catholic armies, while exploring the weapons, organization, tactics, and colourful uniforms used by the infantry and artillery.
