Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A dual biography from 'one of England's greatest historical writers' (Independent). THE MARLBOROUGHS traces the career of one of the eighteenth century's most intriguing and gifted men - John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough - the greatest military commander of his time, and the first British subject to play a dominating role in European affairs. The accompanying portrait of his wife - the outrageous, quarrelsome, amusing and ultimately endearing Sarah - continues after her husband's death, and is brought to a triumphant conclusion with that great memorial to his achievements, Sir John Vanbrugh's masterpiece, Blenheim Palace.
