Author Description

The Great Northern War was a profound event in European history and has had far too little attention in the English speaking world. This publication is intended to open up this history in a way previously not available in English. An international team of academics, authors, and other experts have written articles on the armies, battles, campaigns, events and major personalities of the war. Over 70 articles are included, all fully illustrated in color. As the authors are from a number of different countries, a unique international perspective is provided in the articles. Rich historic detail is included which will be of interest to both those new to and well acquainted with this history.
