This is the trade paperback of Marlborough: Britain's Greatest General, a biography by the British military historian Richard Holmes (1946-2011). 564 pages, including many color photographs, maps etc.There is a dog-ear on page 19; other than that, it is in mint condition. Here's a review:Bestselling military historian Richard Holmes delivers an expertly written and exhilarating account of the life of John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough and Britain's finest soldier, who rose from genteel poverty to lead his country to glory, cementing its position as a major player on the European stage and saviour of the Holy Roman Empire.John Churchill is, by any reasonable analysis, Britain's greatest-ever soldier. He mastered strategy, tactics and logistics. His big four battles, Blenheim (which saved the Holy Roman Empire), Ramilies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet were events at the very centre of the European stage. He captured Lille, France's second city, overran Bavaria and beat a succession of French marshals so badly that one, the squat and energetic Bofflers, was rewarded by Louis XIV for only losing moderately.A coalition manager long before the phrase was invented, he commanded a huge polyglot army with centrifugal political tendencies and bending it to his will by sheer force of personality.Yet John Churchill was also deeply controversial. He accepted a pension from one of Charles II's mistresses for services vigorously rendered. He owed his rise and his peerage to James II yet, determined to be on the winning side, he deserted him in his hour of need in 1688. He maintained regular correspondence with the Jacobites while serving William and Mary and with the French while fighting Louis XIV. He made money on a prodigious scale, but was notoriously tight-fisted, long regretting an annuity given to a secretary whose quick-wittedness saved him from capture. But in the age when commissions were bought and sold, and commanders often owed their position to the hue of their blood, he never lost his soldier's confidence.NOTE: My quoted price for shipping OUTSIDE of North America is for surface mail without tracking.

Bestselling military historian Richard Holmes delivers an expertly written and exhilarating biography of John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough and Britain's finest soldier. Charting Churchill’s rise to favour to lead his country to glory, cementing its position as a major player on the European stage and saviour of the Holy Roman Empire, Holmes paints a portrait of a man who combined passion, avarice and duplicity in his personal life with tenacity and utter brilliance on the battlefield. Reviews 'Outstanding … Holmes has written what must be the … fairest biography of Marlborough.' Daily Telegraph ‘Unbeatable military history, with rattling narrative vitality.’ Richard Davenport-Hines, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year ‘As comprehensive an account of Marlborough as a single volume can hope to be.’ Spectator ‘The appeal of Holmes’s books is not merely their authority but their style. His lightness of touch makes these 500 pages a joy to read as well as an education.’ The Times ‘Professor Holmes tackles his subject at a Light Infantry pace, cracking through a wide-ranging biography with confidence and good humour.’ Independent on Sunday ‘A thorough and readable book.’ Literary Review About the author Celebrated military historian and television presenter Richard Holmes is famous for his BBC series ‘Rebels and Redcoats’ and ‘Wellington’. He is the author of the bestselling and widely acclaimed ‘Redcoat’ and ‘Tommy’ and a dozen other books, including ‘The Western Front’, ‘Dusty Warriors’ and ‘Sahib’. He is general editor of ‘The Definitive Oxford Companion to Military History’. He taught military history at Sandhurst for many years and is now Professor at Cranfield University and the Royal Military College of Science. He lives near Winchester in Hampshire.
