Warrior Kings of Sweden: The Rise of an Empire in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

by Gary Dean Peterson

Book Overview

For a hundred years, Sweden was the international military power of Northern Europe, in control of the entire Baltic region and among the first to colonize in Africa and America. But the history of Sweden, Finland, the Baltic States, Poland, and Prussia is largely neglected in American classrooms and scholarship. This book fills a large void in European history as it is generally presented to the American student and reader.
