Opis

Field Marshal Alexander Leslie was the highest ranking commander from the British Isles to serve in the Thirty Years' War. Though Leslie's life provides the thread that runs through this work, the authors use his story to explore the impacts of the Thirty Years' War, the British Civil Wars and the age of Military Revolution.
