The Spanish theatre was crucial to the outcome of the War of the Spanish Succession and yet it is not well known. This book looks in detail at the vital 1710 campaign in the Peninsula. This campaign was the last chance for Marlborough’s forces to seize a decisive advantage in this important theatre.

The campaign ebbed and flowed before the total defeat of Marlborough’s hopes and this proved to be a decisive event in the outcome of the war. Using difficult to find sources, Nick Dorrell gives the fullest details of the campaign, the armies involved, and the five main actions of the campaign available. The book is a very useful source for anyone interested in this fascinating period of military history.

The Military Campaign Series is a set of books that take a closer look at campaigns in various conflicts. The aim is to provide the reader with a detailed view of a particular part of a conflict, rather than trying to describe the entire conflict or just focus on a single battle. The series provides information on commanders, armies, and the battles of the campaign—providing as good OB’s as possible. The series is a good place to start for those interested in knowing more about a particular conflict, whether you are a history buff or a wargamer.
