The year 1618 was the beginning of the bloodiest war of the early modern era. The largest powers of Western and Eastern Europe - the German Empire and the German principalities, France, Spain, and Sweden, fighting for faith and political supremacy - came together in battle. On the battlefields showed themselves prominent commanders of the era - Swedish King Gustav Adolf, Wallenstein and Tilly, in their offices the outcome of the battles awaited the famous statesmen of the XVII century. - Cardinal Richelieu and Chancellor Oxenstierna. But why the epicenter of the war was the lands of Germany and the Empire, and what forced to sacrifice almost six million lives? Why, centuries later, are its German roots so reluctant to be remembered, and why has the war ceased to be "German"? Is it possible to find an alternative to the old interpretations, born under the influence of the worldview conjuncture and political postulates? Is it possible, finally, to try to look at the events from the thick of it and explain the tragedy by the opinion and logic of its contemporaries? The book by A. Yu. Prokopyev (Institute of History, SPbSU) answers these and other questions.
