Recognizing the difficulty of getting accurate translations, I would like to see some informed comments from contemporary German historians. Particularly: how does Virginia DeMarce's read on 17th Century German history and politics compare with current scholarly understanding. (Yes, I know she has a Ph.D. in history in the period, but her extensive exposition of the "begats" bores me out of my mind, and intuitively makes me wonder if she really understands what was really going on.
