A masterpiece of military history, this is the concise biography of
arguably England's greatest General by arguably Britain's greatest
military historian. Fortescue's Marlborough is less of a
hagiography than the huge two volume life by Marlborough's great
descandent, Winston Churchill, but is a marvellous read for all
that. Briskly taking in the story of the political machinations in
Britain which often bedevilled the Duke's brilliance in battle,
Fortescue's focus is firmly on the field of conflict. His accounts
of the Duke's four great victories - Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde
and Malplaquet - as well as his sieges and lesser actions, is
magnificent. A master of military history writing about a master of
the art of war itself - this book, like Marlborough himself, cannot
be beaten.
