Description: Blenheim - Battle for Europe - How two men stopped the French conquest of Europe (Signed) Author: Charles Spencer Title: Blenheim - Battle for Europe - How two men stopped the French conquest of Europe (Signed) Publication: London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2004 Edition: First edition, 3rd impression Description: Hardcover. 365. From the publisher:"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."Charles Edward Maurice Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, DL (born 1964), styled Viscount Althorp between 1975 and 1992, is a British peer, author, journalist, and broadcaster. He is the younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, and is the maternal uncle of William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.This copy is fine in red cloth with gilt titles on the spine.
