About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"However one casts up the balance-sheet on Wallerstein’s second volume, his effort commands respect and justifies interest in the volumes to follow."

―W.W. Rostow, Society
"An exciting and highly intelligent book...The staggering pace at which Wallerstein moves over different levels of explanation, and skillfully combines them into his argument, deserves admiration."

―Henry Kamen, History
"In this age of high specialization, Wallerstein's ambitious but judicious synthesis will command the respect of any scholar who has tried to grapple with the peculiarly intractable problems of this period.:...the book is shot through with shrewd and often stimulating comment."

―Charles Wilson, Journal of Modern History

From the Back Cover:

"The Battle in the Sound between the Dutch and Swedish Fleets in 1658," by Willem van de Velde, the Elder. Van de Velde was a leading painter of marine life who was given a ship in 1630 by the States of Holland in order to observe and paint sea battles. By 1665, when he painted this grisaille, he had moved to England and was working for Charles II.
