"The Lion of the North", saviour of German Protestantism and the outstanding tactical genius of his day, Gustavus Adolphus had a revolutionary effect on the warfare of the 17th century, as this book describes.
Much of the fame of Gustavus Adolphus has founded upon his cavalry. He is said to have reversed the stagnation of European cavalry warfare, giving it back fluidity and vigour. Like much ''Gustavus mythology'', however, the truth may well be quite different. Richard Brzezinski explores the truth behind the myth, in an attempt to find the real story of Gustavus''s cavarly. Their organization, arms, armour, tactics and uniforms are examined in a text accompanied by many illustrations, including eight fine full page colour plates by Richard Hook.
