Description

Explore the life of a leader who reshaped Northern Europe in Gustavus Adolphus (Profiles In Power). This historical study examines how Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632) transformed Sweden into a leading power and acted as a primary defender of the Protestant cause during the Thirty Years War. Written by a leading historian of the North, this work looks at his dual legacy as a brilliant soldier and a skilled administrator. You will learn how his specific reforms and approach to toleration helped shape the development of the modern state. Originally published in 1973 and long out of print, this edition has been revised, expanded, and updated for modern readers. It provides a clear and concise look at a career that changed the course of European history.
