The rapid rise to fame of Gustavus Adolphus was indeed extraordinary. For a time he had the status of figures like Alexander the Great and Napoleon: men who have inspired their armies to perform incredible feats; men almost worshipped in their own lifetimes. The story of this incredible character; the myths and legends which surround him, and the organisation, arms, armour and uniforms of his army, are here examined by Richard Brzezinski, in a volume packed with accompanying illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook and the author himself.
