Description
The Lion from the North Volume 2: The Swedish Army During the Thirty Years War 1632-48 by Michael Fredholm von Essen. This book provides new insights into the development of the Swedish army during the Thirty Years War, focusing on its later operations and the strategic leadership of Axel Oxenstierna. By examining the military campaigns against Polish and Danish opponents, as well as the battles in Germany and the establishment of Sweden's first American colony, von Essen sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of this pivotal period in European history. The book also explores the administrative reforms implemented by Oxenstierna, which enabled Sweden to consistently raise troops despite its small population. This allowed the Swedish army to maintain a strong presence across vast geographical distances, ultimately contributing to Sweden's rise as a regional great power.
