Paperback edition of the first modern biography of one of the greatest military strategists of all time.

Born in 1360, Jan Zizka was a formidable figure whose life and military career was set amidst the whirlwind of monumental revolutions - military, religious, political and social - that engulfed medieval Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. The leader of Bohemia's Hussite Revolution, the first of the religious wars during the Protestant Reformation, he was a forward-thinking military genius whose record is virtually unmatched.

Zizka fielded a peasant militia, initially untrained and unequipped, and faced down the Holy Roman Empire's huge professional army of armored knights known as The Men of Iron. Among his numerous innovations was the armored wagon fitted with small cannons and muskets, presaging the modern tank. All this was achieved despite the fact that for much of his later career he went completely blind.

Yet remarkably, beyond central Europe, very little is known about him, though today he is he is widely considered a Czech national hero. In this original and engrossing study, historian Victor Verney combines an authoritative analysis with colorful anecdotes to reveal the incredible exploits of this forgotten military genius and the fascinating cast of characters who surrounded him.

Verney, Victor: - Dr Victor Vincent Verney, Jr. PhD, the grandson of Slovak and Greek immigrants, grew up in Buffalo, New York. He served in the US Navy and is a former college professor and newspaper editor, and is now a full-time writer residing in Des Moines, Iowa.Des Moines, Iowa
