Under the leadership of Adolphus, the Swedes were able to smash the armies of their Catholic foes and shape the future of the European continent.

It is little wonder that experts of military history, such as Theodore Aryault Dodge, have stated that Adolphus was the “father of modern warfare.”

Dodge’s book, Gustavus Adolphus, is a brilliant account of this remarkable, but much under studied, military figure that explores his life and career and explains how he was able to revolutionize warfare through the course of his reign.

Yet as the subtitle to Dodge’s book highlights, this work also provides insight into how warfare developed from the end of the medieval period through to the beginning of the eighteenth century.

It contains, beside the campaigns of the Swedish king, and of his famous opponents Wallenstein and Tilly who fought for the Catholic League, those of Cromwell, Turenne, Condé, Marlborough, Prince Eugene, Charles XII., and other great early modern generals.
