Warfare dominated the long reign of the `Sun-king', Louis XIV. For
forty years from 1672, France was continuously at war and had one
of the largest armies seen in the West since the fall of imperial
Rome. The campaigns secured little territory, but almost bankrupted
the country and the consequences for the French monarchy were
dramatic - contributing to its eventual downfall. John Lynn
examines the wars for evidence of a coherent strategic policy; he
explores the operational logistics of the campaigns; and considers
their significance for France's diplomatic, political, mililtary,
administrative and institutional This is the first modern,
comprehensive study in any language, and offers a vivid insight
into 17th and 18th century statesmanship and warfare - reaching a
climax with the defeat of France by Marlborough at Blenheim.
