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.
