The Thirty Years' War was an epic struggle between many European nations between 1618 and 1648. The war began as a struggle between Catholics and Protestant. It eventually pulled in every major power in Europe, morphing into a struggle to see if the France-Hapsburg line would maintain the pre-eminent role over Europe. The war caused great suffering, leaving many parts of Europe devastated, and the people starving. In G.A. Henty's Won by the Sword, young Scotsman Hector Campbell becomes involved in the events of the war, fighting in important battles at Freiburg, Mariental, and Nordlingen, and attempting an escape after being taken prisoner. Alacrity Press is proud to reprint Henty's classic, Won by the Sword. The story is set in 17th century Britain and mainland Europe.
