Description

John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, is one of the great commanders of history.

Using his great charm and diplomatic skills he was able to bind troops from various European states into a cohesive army that won a string of victories over the French armies of King Louis XIV, the first of which was perhaps his most spectacular triumph the battle of Blenheim.

Other great victories followed, but political and social turmoil proved harder opponents to defeat.

This book provides a detailed look at the many highs and lows in the career of the most successful British general of his era.
