5.0 out of 5 stars
Conceivably, the greatest out-of-print history., October 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Letters and Dispatches of John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough from 1702-1712: Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
This masterpiece, of which I have so far located and read only Commager's fine two-volume "abridgement" (actually, selections from, not summaries of, the original) unquestionably warrants a wide contemporary audience. Churchill's biography of his forebear would fully justify a formidable reputation for its author even if Churchill was "only" a historian. Will some publisher please do the world a service and re-print this work?

Perhaps you mean Marlborough by Churchill?, July 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Letters and Dispatches of John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough from 1702-1712: Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
Winston Churchill wrote a 5 volume set about the Duke of Marlborough. I am assuming that is what this series is. It was recently reviewed by "Foreign Affairs" as one of the most influential of military history books. Is this actually for sale or is it out of print?
