Warfare dominated the long reign of Louis XIV. In this wide-ranging history, John Lynn examines the different wars for evidence of a coherent strategic policy. He explores the operational logistics of the campaigns and shows how far, for the king, warfare was a process of attrition rather than a series of decisive events. Above all, he sets these wars, and their consequences, in their full diplomatic, military, administrative and institutional contexts.
