This is a great period and everybody knows the works of Chandler. What else is a good read for our period?
Don't forget fiction; I remember in JR High the first book I read about the WSS and Marlborough. It was by Ronald Welch called "Captain of Dragoons". As you can see that is where I got my forum name. One of Marlborough's ADC's gets caught up in a spy ring and the book ends at the Battle of Blenheim.
What I would like to find now is a good military history of the War of the Grand Alliance.
