How two men brought about the defeat of Louis XIV's previously unbeaten army and saved Europe from French domination - A Sunday Times Bestseller
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Charles Spencer was educated at Eton College and obtained his degree in Modern History at Magdalen College, Oxford. Since he was a boy the Battle of Blenheim has fascinated him - it was even his History O level special project - partly because of the Spencer-Churchill direct link to the engagement's prime victor, John, Duke of Marlborough. While in the middle of a seven year stint as a correspondent for NBC News in the United States, Charles Spencer inherited the ancestral home of Althorp, Northampton, which he has since restored and refurbished. He lives at Althorp and in West London with his wife, four children from his first marriage, and two stepsons. He achieved worldwide attention after speaking passionately at the funeral of his sister Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

Etat : Muy bueno. : En el verano de 1704, los vastos ejércitos de Luis XIV dominaban Europa. Francia derrotó a todas las alianzas formadas contra ella y Luis estaba a punto de extender su frontera hasta el Rin e instalar a un príncipe francés en el trono de España. Dos hombres salvaron a Europa de la dominación militar francesa: el duque de Marlborough y el príncipe Eugenio de Saboya. Marlborough dirigió una brillante campaña, trabajando con Eugenio para sorprender a los invasores franceses dentro de Alemania. Los ejércitos rivales se enfrentaron en agosto y los hasta entonces invictos franceses fueron completamente destruidos. Blenheim fue un importante punto de inflexión en la historia europea. La narración de Charles Spencer se basa en fuentes originales y se mueve a la perfección desde las deliberaciones de reyes y príncipes hasta los soldados de primera línea. Esta es la batalla que crea la reputación perdurable del soldado británico y destroza la imagen del 'Rey Sol' y su poderoso ejército.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. How two men brought about the defeat of Louis XIV's previously unbeaten army and saved Europe from French domination - A Sunday Times Bestseller By the summer of 1704 Louis XIV's vast armies dominated Europe. France defeated every alliance formed against her and Louis was poised to extend his frontier to the Rhine and install a French prince on the throne of Spain. Two men saved Europe from French military domination: the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy. Marlborough masterminded a brilliant campaign, working with Eugene to surprise the French invaders inside Germany. The rival armies clashed in August and the hitherto unbeaten French were utterly destroyed. Blenheim was a major turning point in European history. Charles Spencer's narrative is drawn from original sources and moves seamlessly from the deliberations of Kings and princes to the frontline soldiers. This is the battle that creates the enduring reputation of the British redcoat and shatters the image of the 'Sun King' and his mighty army. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002216682
