Biography

Josef Vincent Polišenský (1915–2001) was a Czech academic historian and Latin Americanist. He is best known in the English-speaking world for his book Tragic Triangle: The Netherlands, Spain and Bohemia, 1617–1621 (Prague, Charles University, 1991), a study of the international political context of the Bohemian Revolt.
His earlier study of the Bohemian Revolt, The Thirty Years War, was translated into English by R.J.W. Evans and published in England by B. T. Batsford (1970) and in the U.S. by University of California Press (1971).
