Marlborough
About this book
"Marlborough: His Life and Times is an exhaustive, four-volume panegyric biography, in which Churchill defends his ancestor against claims of war-mongering and charlatanism made by Thomas Macaulay, a 19th-century historian and Whig politician. The Duke of Marlborough was a military commander and statesman, who rose from a page at the Stuart court to one of the richest and most successful royal subjects. Churchill deftly explains the political, military, and social issues wrestled with by Marlborough in the course his career, including the Glorious Revolution and War of Spanish Succession, but also takes pains to explore the private and personal aspects of Marlborough's life. The result is a literary and historical triumph."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
