Customer Reviews
The Sun In Splendour - Rated Louis XIV seems to have been left behind by history. Few French books cover his reign compared to say Napoléon Bonaparte. In the Anglo-Saxon world he is probably better known for persecuting protestants or wearing preposterous wigs. Yet the power of France in his reign rose, fell and then ultimately triumphed as he abolished the Pyrenees. John Lynn's book, based mostly on Quincy, views each war and each campaign on a theatre by theatre basis. This pattern allows one to see the enormous effort required of these early modern states in maintaining armies in excess of 100,000 men over many theatres, and supplying them with money and victuals. No matter how glorious war was felt to be it was ultimately a matter of intendants and wagons. This is an excellent one volume summary from an excellent series.
