Books
The Thirty Years War
The only comprehensive account of the war in English, C.V. Wedgwood’s magisterial book is a triumph of literary history that brings to life the war’s campaigns, battles, and negotiations, as well as its terrible human toll.
The Book of My Life
At once picaresque adventure and campus comedy, curriculum vitae and last will, The Book of My Life is an extraordinary Renaissance self-portrait.
