Makes listening a gift to those who like me prefer to digest their books in audio This book isn t for the undetermined in sticking with a book that goes into extreme description of his many battles Its worth sticking thru these parts to understand that his skills that never let him lose a battle were in great use in the political mess of those times in England and Europe He had some help and some hindrance thru the relationship his wife Sarah had with Queen Anne Marlborough s wife Sarah is extremely fascinating and why a movie hasn t been made about a woman of such political influence is beyond me The DNA of this incredible man.

Marlboroughcollege firefly Well worth reading a look into the chaotic Parliamentary Whig Tory dynamics of the time the great alliance coming together to stop the dominant France of Louis XIV the carnage in Belgium France and Germany some of the bloodiest battles in history up to that time Above all it shows Marlborough to be one of the great leaders in all history a man of patience and vision a man of action. PDF marlborough All in the voice of one Winston S Churchill who could write a riveting history with the best of them Kindle Edition As you all know by now I like Winston Churchill so I decided to read some works by him This book is for our English cousins than Americans but it contains that beautiful mastery of the English Language Churchill was to make use of during WWII In spite of its 17th century European setting I warmed to this book mainly for its Game of Thrones feel without the magic You can see what a tangled web was weaved when all the major countries work in their own and European interests Only 3 volumes in this series on Churchill s famous descendant to go Now I just have to wait for Volumes 3 and 4 to go on sale by Kindle Kindle Edition Marlborough His Life and Times by Winston Churchill is a book that is a monumental challenge to read The most ardent barrier to anyone reading it to completion is its length which spans at least two thousand pages It took a year and a half to read about half of the book But strangely bizarrely I read the remainder of the book in the span of about a month and a half While there were points that were interesting in the beginning of the narrative Churchill s retelling and historical revisionism regarding his ancestor s triumph became a joy to go through when Queen Anne began to break with the Duke and Duchess that helped as Churchill often claimed to glorify her reign The gradual estrangement of the Marlboroughs from the Queen the eventual casting out of the Duke and the perfidy of a separate peace was very nearly spell binding At least for one such as myself a student of people power politics and global affairs The book is too long and perhaps too uneven in its early to mid section to be something that I would recommend to all comers Instead I will just say that the book is an exceedingly enthralling window into a now long gone era The framing of course is colored by the love and respect of Churchill who himself had a writing style that was already old timey for his age Even so it is well worth a glance and a peruse if you cannot spare the weeks and months needed to work your way through the entirety of the text Particularly if you engage with politics or history Kindle Edition
