A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma -- No great expectations -- Early manhood -- Maturity -- Gradisca -- A scandal in Bohemia --Richer than all his tribe -- Minting money -- A man ofproperty -- Thefault is not in our stars -- Some achieve greatness -- War without end-- A general and a duke -- Go, captain, greet the Danish king -- The Dessau bridge -- 1626 : a campaign and a conference -- 1627-28 : Denmarkand Stralsund -- At the parting of the ways -- The Edict of Restitution --An Italian entanglement -- The limits of power -- The wheel is come full circle -- Dismissal -- Intermezzo -- Resumption -- Once more unto the breach -- Wallenstein's second army -- Towards confrontation -- From the fury of the Norsemen deliver us -- The Alte Veste -- Lèutzen --Of peace and other demons -- Exile intrigues -- Fruitless endeavours -- Decline and fall -- The gathering storm -- Hopesprings eternal -- Condemned unheard -- Assassination is the quickest way -- Death, a necessary end--Aftermath -- Requiem -- But Brutus says he was ambitious.

A minor Bohemian nobleman who within the space of a few years becamea prince and one of the greatest landowners of his age; a military entrepreneur who twice saved the Holy Roman Emperor from disaster with armies he raised, financed and led, but was then twice dismissed; an able general who rescued the Empire from invasion by the Swedish King Gustavus II Adolphus, but was accused of planning to defect to the self-same Swedes; the emperor's commander-in-chief, but assassinated on the emperor's orders; a successful soldier who fell because he tried too hard tomake peace; Wallenstein was all these things. Contemporary legends andpropaganda were taken up by early biographers of this fascinating character to create a historical myth, elements of which are still present in many more recent accounts. In this book, Geoff Mortimer sets out to clarify the picture and to resolve the enigma.
