Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The Battle of Lens marked the climax of a decade of war between France and Spain; the two contenders were exhausted, having fought in Spain, France, Flanders, Italy and Germany. The conflict would be settled in a pitched battle near the city of Lens, Flanders, in the summer of 1648. The Spanish had neutralised the Dutch for the campaign of 1648, so they prepared to launch a major offensive against the French, who had occupied important cities in Flanders for years. Thus, the new governor, Archduke Leopold William, brother of Emperor Ferdinand III of Habsburg, took charge of an army of almost 20,000 troops.The French were commanded by the Prince of Conde, who knew how to instil a spirit of resistance in his troops. The two armies carried out marches and countermarches to outwit their opponent and seize cities: Conde conquered Ypres, but the Archduke took Lens. Conde tried to rescue the city, but arrived too late. However, the campaign was not lost for France; the brilliant Conde decided to deploy his army on the plain to decide the campaign, its own prestige, and the fate of the war. AUTHOR: Alberto Raul Esteban Ribas is a historian and economist. He has studied a doctorate in military history. He is a specialist in the military history of Spain, from the 16th-17th centuries. He has written several books on Spanish battles and military expeditions, as well as numerous articles for Spanish and international magazines. His current line of research focuses on the study of the Spanish armies and campaigns of the second half of the 17th century, considered the period of Spanish decline, and analyzing the reasons for such a situation. 57 b/w illustrations, 6 b/w photos, 4 colour plates, 2 b/w maps Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
