Del 4 av nio avklarad, nästan halvvägs in i min medborgerliga plikt att lära mig om mitt lands historia etc... Tycker om att Lindvqist tar friheter och verkligen går in i rollen som berättare. Böckerna blir roligare att läsa nu när det finns så mycket källmaterial dessutom.

Om Karl XI och sen Karl XII
Detaljerat och bra flöde.
Märkliga tider, långa fälttåg men kul att få en stor re-cap på tidigt 1700-tal.

The huge undertaking which was writing the "popular history" version of Sweden have gotten a thorough bashing from scholars (some parts/books more than others of course). But, if we keep in mind that parts are the authors deductions and literary liberties, the fact remains that this is the available work of this magnitude. Also, Lindqvist is a great storyteller and makes history, with a number of documented mistakes or misconceptions, accessible to a broad audience.
Book number four spans the period 1660–1721, with many great wars and the fall of the Swedish empire.
