Two volumes of the life of the dynamic wife of a great soldier
John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough was without question one of the
finest military commanders the British Isles has ever produced. He
was singular in several ways, but he was also fortunate in those
about him. In Eugene of Savoy he had a military man of such
capability and stature that it is incredible that the two men were
contemporaries, let alone allies. He had close relations with
Godolphin and was a prized confident of Queen Anne. But in his
marriage he was doubly blessed. Sarah Churchill was not only his
wife but the love of his life and their mutual affection and
commitment to each other endured beyond the flush of youth.
Additionally Sarah Churchill was not made of the material that
readily prepared an aristocratic lady made for a life of idleness.
Hers was a volatile strong willed personality and she was, in many
ways, centuries ahead of her time. She aided Godolphin and her
husband in support of the Queen and campaigned vigorously for the
Whig party never shrinking from confrontations which often threw
her out of favour with the powerful and influential. Always she was
her husbands agent on the home front as he engaged in the memorable
battles of the War of Spanish Succession. These two volumes
chronicle the life of this remarkable woman and provide essential
detail and context to students of the life and campaigns of the
Duke of Marlborough himself. Available in soft cover or hard cover
with dust jacket.
