Jim Fuxa's Zizka,the One Eyed was a great read! The characters came to life for me. I definitely liked Zizka's side of the warring factions the best, but all were characterized well. I used to live in a Czech town so I was fascinated by the customs, religion, dress, and wars of the Czech people in this book. Learning Czech history in a class would not have been as compelling as reading Zizka, the One Eyed. Now I want to go to that part of the world and have a look around myself.Product details

Zizka the OneEyed Jim Fuxa 9781304787668 Books Reviews
I really enjoyed reading Zizka. It reads smoothly throughout. The fast paced action captures the brutality and inhumanity of the fifteenth century Hussite wars as well as the innovative military strategies introduced by Jan Zizka. Dr. Fuxa’s descriptions of the weapons and modes of transportation used at the time could qualify him as the Tom Clancy of the fifteenth century. In addition it’s a good story.
I didn't have any real knowledge of Bohemia or the Hussite revolution, as most of my history knowledge has been more centered in western Europe. Zizka, the One-Eyed, gives a wonderful, detailed look into that era, with a good historical perspective (I've looked it up since) and good characterization of the protagonist. It is quite an adventurous yarn and shows a lot about the military tactics used by the Hussites to become the dominant military force within that area, surpassing formerly highly effective cavalry forces from Austria and Poland. Hussites were effectively a well-trained peasant military force with highly unorthodox tactics for the era.
Zizka is a powerful figure, undaunted by much adversity in his life, and the love affair interposed within the story is simple and beautiful. Mr. Fuxa depicts his characters with understanding and sympathy.
This is a wonderful adventure set in an interesting place and time. It is a great read! I look forward to further efforts by the writer.
Five stars
