We've been on quite a journey over the last 18 episodes, and I think it's time we take stock. In this episode, we do just that. If you're new here or if you're aren't sure whether this topic is for you, then this should be your first stop. I'll explain not only what happens in this conflict, but also why it's fascinating and absolutely worth your time. Next week, I'll release a special episode which will detail my favourite story that the Thirty Years War contains, so I hope you'll join me for that!  Make sure to send your questions for a Q&A I'm doing on this topic, which will be released on Wed 16 September. Our new book on the Thirty Years War is out NOW!
