About this podcast
Delve into the tumultuous saga of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) with Samuel Rawson Gardiner, a historian whose insights remain highly regarded. This conflict, ignited as a civil war between Protestant princes and the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, quickly spiraled into a broader struggle for European supremacy as external powers intervened. In this concise yet powerful account, Gardiner recounts the legendary battles and the audacious commanders—Mansfeld, Wallenstein, Tilly, and Gustavus Adolphus, among others. Meanwhile, the cunning Cardinal Richelieu, though frail in body, masterfully manipulated secret subsidies and diplomatic strategies, undermining Austria and Spain, and paving the way for Frances golden age. Join Pamela Nagami, M.D., as she brings this captivating narrative to life.
