MARLBOROUGH'S LAST CHANCE IN SPAIN: The 1710 Spanish Campaign

2-198610

The Military Campaign Series is a set of books that take a closer look at campaigns in various conflicts. The aim is to provide the reader with a detailed view of a particular part of a conflict, rather than trying to describe the entire conflict or just focus on a single battle. The series provides information on commanders, armies, battles of the campaign, and OOBs. The series is a good place to start for those interested in knowing more about a particular conflict, whether you are a history buff or a wargamer.

The Spanish theater was crucial to the outcome of the War of the Spanish Succession and yet it is not well known. This book looks in detail at the vital 1710 campaign in the Peninsula, including the five main actions of the campaign. This campaign was the last chance for Marlborough's forces to seize a decisive advantage in this important theater. The campaign ebbed and flowed before the total defeat of Marlborough's hopes and this proved to be a decisive event in the outcome of the war.
