About this Item

Hardcover. Second impression. The purpose of this book "is to give a brief and concise outline of the campaigns in which the Duke of Marlborough and the British army played such a glorious part. Though the campaigns of Wellington are to a great extent familiar to the soldier and civilian alike, those of Marlborough seem, for some unaccountable reason, to have been almost entirely neglected . Marlborough's grasp of the great principles of strategy, his power of maneuver, and the certainty with which he handled his troops on the field of battle, closely resemble the methods of the great Napoleon ." (preface). Orange cloth covered boards with red title to front board and to spine. Ex library copy with stamps on front endpaper and title page. Else is clean and bright with fold out map to rear. 163 pages. English History. ENGHIS01/011000. Seller Inventory # 13392
