The War People

A Social History of Common Soldiers during the Era of the Thirty Years War

Book • 2024

Lucian Staiano-Daniels

This book reconstructs the lives of seventeenth-century common soldiers in detail, using the transnational story of the Mansfeld Regiment to examine how ordinary soldiers, military women, and officers negotiated their lives within the chaos and uncertainty of the seventeenth century.

It sheds light on the intricate social world of mercenaries, their relationships, and the impact of the military revolution and the fiscal-military state.

The study is supported by statistical analysis from hundreds of records from the Thirty Years War, offering a human story of comradeship, hardship, and struggle during a period of significant conflict and social upheaval.
