The historian Otto Hermann Brandt presents a concise history of the German Peasants' War in this volume. Following an introductory overview of the situation of the peasant class at the end of the Middle Ages, Brandt explains the historical developments in the regions between Lake Constance and the Lech, between the Main and the Tauber, as well as the uprising in Thuringia. His explanations are illustrated with 15 images. This is a carefully edited reprint of the original edition from 1929.
