It includes details of the Battle of Sedgemoor, Marlborough's first engagement in which he played a leading role and a description of the art of war at that time including movement, support and armament of field forces, together with a discussion of formalized patterns of attack and defence in the sieges. It also explores continental campaigns: Donauworth, Hochstadt, Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet.
