"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. A two-volume set with over 600 pages on the armies, battles, campaigns, events, and personalities of the Great Northern War. It is fully illustrated and in English. 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"

These volumes are simply superb. The content and information is wide ranging and thorough. The are great maps and plentiful uniform illustrations covering all major armies. Beautifully executed with gloss paper and hardcovers. A must have for anyone interested in the Great Northern Wars.

For a very specialized subject, with a small and narrow audience, this is a really good price.

Beautiful books! Worth every penny! Hoping they do more of them.

Not bought this yet (although I fully intend to at some point); the cost is very reasonable to have all this info – presented by experts in their fields, no less – in English.

I've had them since they were first released, great resources.

From reading about battles, to just using the nice art as inspiration as you paint.

The books made me change focus from Sweden vs Russia to Sweden vs Saxony and Denmark.
