SECONDHAND BOOKS | MILITARY HISTORY

"The emphasis of the narrative lies throughout on the character and personality of John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, rather than on the general historical events of his life. The course of Marlborough's war leadership is narrated with clarity, colour, pace and immediacy, rendering Marlborough's talents and achievements explicable in terms of the military art of his time"--Page 4 of cover.
