5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent concise overview of neglected topic, May 30, 2001

This review is from: The Army of Gustavus Adolphus (1): Infantry (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This is one of the better Ospreys that I have read, and the author should be congratulated for presenting a concise and entertaining narrative on a neglected topic (30 Years War). The modern photographs and contemporary line drawings are excellent, and they blend in well with the text.

Brzezinski should also be commended for presenting a more balanced view of Gustavus Adolphus, who was certainly one of history's great leaders, but he didn't do everything. Several popular myths surrounding the Swedish king are challenged in a logical and non-confrontational fashion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and now you can too - Osprey just issued a special edition to bring this title back into print. Whether you're a novice or expert on this fascinating period of history, this is a very worthwhile purchase.
