Recenzje

'In this well-written biography, Robert Bireley ably retells Ferdinand's story: his efforts shoring up the family, prosecuting a war, and reviving Catholicism's flagging fortunes. Bireley's Ferdinand II, Counter-Reformation Emperor, 1578–1637 is the culmination of a long and prolific career dedicated primarily to the study of early-modern religion and politics.' Howard Louthan, The Catholic Historical Review
