    Won By the Sword, 1st Printing, Painted Cover. (HRN 150, with 7/59 date). In 1618, a fearful struggle began among nations of Europe. It is known as the Thirty Years' War. By 1635, it seemed that all of Germany would soon fall to the armies of Austria. As an ally of Spain, Austria would then dominate France. To prevent this, Richelieu, the French minister, brought France into the war. Then began the final phase of the long and bloody conflict. Cover price $0.15.
