Noch heute gilt «Dreißigjähriger Krieg» als Metapher für die Schrecken des Krieges schlechthin, dauerte es doch Jahrzehnte, bis die Verwüstungen überwunden waren, die der längste Krieg auf deutschem Boden angerichtet hatte. Dabei war, als am 23. Mai 1618 protestantische Adelige die Statthalter des römisch-deutschen Kaisers Ferdinand II. aus den Fenstern der Prager Burg stürzten, kaum abzusehen, was folgen sollte: ein Flächenbrand, der erste im vollen Sinne «europäische Krieg». Fesselnd erzählt Herfried Münkler vom Schwedenkönig Gustav Adolf und dem Feldherrn Wallenstein, von Kardinälen und Kurfürsten, von den Landsknechten und den durch Krieg und Krankheiten - ein Viertel der Bevölkerung fand den Tod - verheerten Landschaften Deutschlands. Auch die europäische Staatenordnung lag in Trümmern - und doch entstand auf diesen Trümmern eine wegweisende Friedensordnung, mit der eine neue Epoche ihren Ausgang nahm. Herfried Münkler führt den Krieg in all seinen Aspekten vor Augen, behält dabei aber auch unsere Gegenwart im Blick: Der Dreißigjährige Krieg kann uns, wie er zeigt, besser als alle späteren Konflikte die Kriege der Gegenwart verstehen lassen. Eine packende Gesamtdarstellung, die historische Erzählung und politische Analyse vereint.
