BLENHEIM 1704: Osprey Campaign 141 

Text by John Tincey illustrated by Graham Turner

"Combining one of history's most audacious strategic manoeuvres with perhaps the greatest military victory ever won by a British commander, the Blenheim campaign is rightly considered the pinnacle of the career of John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. On 13 August 1704, Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy faced a Franco-Bavarian army threatening to knock Austria out of the War of the Spanish Succession. In a hard-fought battle Marlborough won a resounding victory, capturing Marshal Tallard and over 14,000 men. In this book John Tincey describes how Marlborough's victory crushed his enemies, shattered the myth of French invincibility and laid the foundations for two centuries of British world dominance."

MARLBOROUGH'S ARMY 1702-11: Osprey Men-At-Arms 97

Text by Michael Barthorp illustrated by Angus McBride

"The succession of the French Duke of Anjou to the Spanish throne in 1700 provoked the formation of a Grand Alliance to thwart the king's expansionist ambitions. Led by the Duke of Marlborough, the army of the Grand Alliance declared war on France. Between 1702 and 1711, this united force, comprised of English, Dutch, Danish, Prussian, Austrian and other German troops, were victorious at such historic battles as Blenheim, Oudenarde and Malplaquet. This book chronicles Marlborough's campaigns in the War of the Spanish Succession, detailing the tactics, troops and uniforms of his army."

Both books are in generally very good condition with light wear to the covers and sun-fading of the spine of the Blenheim book

I am also listing two other related Osprey books (as well as many other Ospreys from my collection) - THE BRITISH ARMY 1660-1704 and LOUIS XIV's ARMY, and I'm always happy to combine postage where possible
