Description

The Nine Years' War and the British Army 1688-97: The Operations in the Low Countries This comprehensive study of the British army's operations in the Low Countries during the Nine Years' War provides a detailed examination of the military and political significance of the conflict. John Childs explores the diplomatic origins of the war, before delving into the detailed organisation of the British, Dutch, and other allied armies and the conduct of the operations. The specific campaigns are examined in depth, with a particular focus on the strategic and tactical role played by the British. This campaign and operational study of the British army will be of interest to both specialist and general military historians, as well as to political historians. By examining the operations of the British army in the Low Countries, this book offers a unique insight into the military and political history of the period.
