TAILIEUCHUNG - The Battle of Blenheim

The proper understanding of a battle and of its historical significance is only possible in connection with the campaign of which it forms a part; and the campaign can only be understood when we know the political object which it was designed to battle is no more than an incident in a campaign. However decisive in its immediate result upon the field, its value to the general conducting it depends on its effect upon the whole of his operations, that is, upon the campaign in which he is engaged. A campaign, again, is but the armed effort of one society to impose its will. | The Battle of Blenheim by Hilaire Belloc 1 The Battle of Blenheim by Hilaire Belloc The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Battle of Blenheim by Hilaire Belloc This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
