Reviews Katrin Keller and Martin Scheutz, eds., Die Habsburgermonarchie und der Dreißigjährige Krieg. Vienna: Böhlau, 2020. 451 pp. Th e Th irty Years’ War (1618– 1648) was one of the most destructive confl icts in European history. W hole swaths of Central Europe were left desolate, in a demographic catastrophe that had previously been known only through pla- gue and that wouldn’t be repeated until the twentieth century. What began as a Protestant- Catholic dispute became in the subsequent decades a war in- volving nearly every state in Europe. Yet the lands that bore the brunt of the ghtin fi g and wanton destruction— even aft er the war had developed into a more general confl agration— remained Central Europe, and speci fically the lands under Habsburg dominion, where the original quarrel had developed and where religious and ethnic fault lines were as intermingled as the string in a ball of twine. W hile diff erent parts of the monarchy were aff ected to greater and lesser degrees, the whole structure of Habsburg power, politics, and civil society was shatt ered and remade by the war.
