"Geoffrey Parker´s vision, clearly revealed in this collection, presents the intertwining of war, imperialism, and religion, not to deliberate building of states, as the hallmark of early modern central European history.
No living historian matches the breadth of his researches right across western and central Europe; few rival the clarity and precision of his writing.
This volume , which contains contains some of the most famous studies, is history i the classic mold, a marriage of research, style, and vision." Thomas A. Brady, JR., University of California at Berkeley
"°With the precision of watchmaker , Parker delights in reconstruction the mechanisms that, by restricting the available options, determine political decisions... His zeal to provide comparisons with current or more modern situations brings his analysis within the grasp of the ordinary reader, destroying e cliché that modern history is something remote and unique."
Ricardo García Cárcell, Universidad, Autónoma of Barcelona
