This is a survey of the point in history when Sweden rose to preeminence in Europe. Drawing on the latest literature in Swedish and other languages, Paul Lockhart examines the institutions of the Swedish 'empire' at the height of its influence, while focusing on the key historical questions: why did this impoverished state become a great power, how was it able to maintain this status, and what brought about its eventual decline?

More About the Author
Paul Lockhart fell in love with history as a first-grader, when his older brother -- Keith Lockhart, now of Boston Pops fame -- showed him a children's book on the Civil War. He's been writing about history ever since. After getting his Ph.D. at Purdue, where he studied European and military history, Lockhart joined the faculty at Wright State University, where he still teaches.
