  Examines the diplomatic negotiations that took place in Westphalia from 1643 to 1648, which brought an end to the agonizing civil and religious conflict of the Thirty Years' War. This book offers an interpretation of the origins of the Fronde, linking the French domestic revolt to foreign policy, in Mazarin's failure to secure peace with Spain.
