Muscovy and Sweden in the Thirty Years' War 1630-1635 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521451390)

This is an English translation of important writings on the Thirty Years War by the great Soviet historian B.F. Porshnev. Little is known of the Muscovite contribution to the conflict and Paul Dukes, a specialist in ancien regime Russia, has selected the most valuable areas of Porshnev's archival research to fill a gap in the literature of the 17th century. In placing this work in the context of Porshnev's larger undertaking, Professor Dukes' introduction assesses Porshnev's critics and evaluates his contribution to our understanding of the Thirty Years War and of relations between Eastern and Western Europe at the time. A reinterpretation of a fascinating period, the book should interest both Russian specialists and those working more generally in 17th-century European history.
