Drawn from Fortescue’s great History of the British Army, these chapters follow British troops through a century of war in Flanders: William III’s campaigns of the 1690s, the fighting of 1744 to 1748, and the ill-fated campaign of 1793 to 1794 against revolutionary France, with its drunken battalions, quarrelling allies and anxious ministers in London.
Authoritative, sharply opinionated military history for readers who want to know why Flanders became Britain’s recurring battlefield. Download the free EPUB.
