Swedish studies of these wars can be difficult to find in British and American markets, even when good books are readily available in Sweden. English-language readers are therefore more likely to encounter translated Danish accounts, whose national perspective matters when assessing a campaign. Names create a separate obstacle. A person may appear under a historical Swedish spelling in one book and a translated or modern form in another. An apparently missing reference can therefore be present under an unfamiliar spelling.

Limited translation makes Danish accounts easier to obtain, while differences between historical and modern Swedish spellings can obscure names in otherwise relevant books.
