I have a question about this book and that question is this book easier to read than the one by Peter H. Wilson? Got the Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years War by Peter H. Wilson for my birthday and its so dry drawn out and boring that i had to give up Others who have made reviews of that book says the first 250 pages is just background info and that the battles themselves have little details

Paul Hasbrouck Yes, Wedgewood's one-volume history is a excellent read. Never boring, the writer keeps all the complex elements, religion, battles, political movemen…moreYes, Wedgewood's one-volume history is a excellent read. Never boring, the writer keeps all the complex elements, religion, battles, political movements in contex for readers. There are histories that are so full of details that the story bogs down, the works of Wedgewood, the English Civil War, William the Silent and this book are not those.(less)
