About the Book

This new and thoroughly researched book on the Thirty Years' War by the creative force behind the "When Diplomacy Fails" podcast.

The year is 1618, and representatives of the powerful Habsburg's have just been thrown out of the windows of Prague Castle. What happened next took virtually everyone by surprise, as a conflict unparalleled in its intensity, cost and of course in its duration. The Thirty Years War would not end until 1648, and in those three decades of conflict, new empires would rise, dynasties would crumble, incredible new innovations would be tested in murderous battlefields, and the religious makeup of Europe itself would be forever altered.

As this great European conflict spread from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, the mastery of the entire continent was at stake, as were opportunities for glory, influence and absolute power. As the war raged on, those individuals that participated within it - be they Princes, Emperors, Kings or mere subjects - would be forced to pick a side. Would they choose the side of God, or of the Devil?

With this new study, Zachary Twamley examines the Thirty Years War in its entirety, following the conflict through its different phases, as new, dynamic, ambitious actors, like King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Cardinal Richelieu in France, and even the Tsar of Russia became involved. Twamley's narration covers several watershed moments, including the rise of the Dutch Republic, the terminal decline of Spain, and the arrival of France under King Louis XIV. It was a period of profound development and change, and upon its conclusion at the famed Peace of Westphalia, Europe would never be the same again.
About the Author: Zachary Twamley began history podcasting in 2012 with his podcast When Diplomacy Fails, and since then, he has completed a BA and an MA in history at University College Dublin. He then lectured in Irish Politics and European Union affairs at the Technological University of Dublin. Always eager to learn more, in 2019, Zachary began a PhD in History at Trinity College Dublin, and intends to reassess Victorian foreign policy for his thesis. He remains dedicated to releasing regular episodes on his podcast, and with what little spare time he has he enjoys running, reliving history in epic strategy games, and engaging in further reading. Zack is a self-professed history nerd, and his website can be found at www.wdfpodcast.com.
