His campaigns, particularly during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-14) where he fought in collaboration with another military genius of his age, Prince Eugene of Savoy, included iconic battles which resonate to the present day. Perhaps foremost among those was the Battle of Blenheim, 1704, in which allied victory was grasped-at some cost-from a French force whose position on the field of conflict could barely have been better. It is certain that Marlborough owed much of his success-as did Wellington a century later-to the courage of the soldiers of the British army who fought under his command. This special Leonaur edition includes narratives about two officers of one of the redoubtable British regiments, the hard fighting and ardently religious Scots of the Cameronians-the 26th Regiment of Foot. The first narrative chronicles the career and includes the campaign diary of John Blackader, whose words have often been quoted in descriptions of the war. The second work describes the career of James Ferguson another renowned Scottish officer and is included here to provide a contrasting perspective on Blackader's more expansive writing.\u003cbr\u003e Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45639867203686,"sku":"9781782823032","price":72.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/4hlbDdtEF-9781782823032.webp?v=1779282210","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/marlboroughs-cameronians-two-british-officers-during-the-war-of-spanish-succession-the-life-and-diary-of-lieut-col-j-blackader-by-andrew-crichton-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
