Соблазненная в прямом эфире

S.V. Wedgwood is the author of a number of works on 17th century Europe and one of the most renowned and popular historians of Great Britain, presenting a comprehensive chronicle of the Thirty Years' War with its main battles and key participants. It vividly depicts Europe in 1618, torn by contradictions between Catholics and Protestants; the Bourbons and the Habsburgs; between empires, kingdoms, and countless small states. After enraged Protestants threw three representatives of the Holy Roman Empire out of the windows of the royal castle in Prague, a rebellion broke out, and the war began to inexorably spread from Bohemia throughout Europe, dragging countries from Spain to Sweden into a nightmarish carousel of famine, epidemics, and endless chaos.
