Lisk Jill. The Struggle for Supremacy in the Baltic, 1600-1725

University of London Press, 1967. — 232 p.The importance of the Baltic region in seventeenth and early eighteenth-century European history is often overlooked and frequently only partly understood. The protracted struggles of the Baltic powers for supremacy, fascinating in themselves, are not fully appreciated without some insight into the way in which they were influenced by, and the nature of their influence upon, the rest of Europe. The shallowness and freshness of the Baltic account for the ease with which it freezes, a very important fact in the economy of the Baltic local powers.
