BLENHEIM by David Green. (9 1/2" x 6"; 162 pages; 28 plates; 9 maps. Collins £ 3.85P ). The author, writer of many official handbooks including that for "Blenheim Palace" and other books on personalities of the early 18th century, has a most suitable background for writing this book. He has drawn on his own extensive knowledge, backed by contemporary records, skilfully using extracts from the writings of soldiers, statesmen and authors of the day. The illustrations are helpful, particularly those in colour, of the Blenheim tapestries. In a succinct yet informative style, the author deals with the events leading up to the battles of the Schellenberg and Blenheim; the battles themselves and their aftermath. Easily assimilated, the book provides a competent account of these stirring days that is highly suitable for the wargamer specialising in this period. It is quite obvious from reading of these two battles that their reproduction with 5mm Regimental blocks could be a most interesting tabletop conflict.
