New York, 1976, Hippocrene, first US edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6x9, 192 pages, illus, maps, notes, bibliog, index ....................................................................At Blenheim, England became a military power to be reckoned with. For so long under the shadow of an immensely powerful and ambitious France she moved into an era of freedom and confidence which had not been enjoyed for a hundred years. Major Peter Verney fills in the broad sweep of political and economic conflict known as the War of the Spanish Succession and, having set the scene, covers the whole campaign leading up to the famous battle itself. It is a story of often incredible military skills; Marlborough equipped with no more than a patchwork army urged, helped and inspired them to some of the most glorious feats of arms in the annals of warfare. The march to the Danube covered nearly four hundred miles in, for those unmechanized times, an extraordinarily fast time. What awaited the exhausted army was one of the strongest fortifications in Europe - the Schellenberg. Peter Verney, writing with immediacy and the help of previously unpublished material, tells the story of that bloody battle, notable for the sheer determination of the badly mauled attackers. .........................................................................The Battle of Blenheim was not the one-sided affair it is usually portrayed. Peter Verney goes into greater detail than has been previously attempted in analysing the much-neglected role of the French and Bavarian armies under the leadership of Marshal Tallard. The result is a sustained, balanced and compelling narrative which brings home to the reader the realities of eighteenth-century warfare in all its subtlety and brutality. .......................................................................
