Beschreibung
Eugene of Savoy remains a phenomenon to this day, a military leader whose career is still the subject of lively interest among historians and readers. History has surrounded him with the aura of an invincible commander, a capable statesman, and a patron of the arts. Based on the study of sources and scholarly literature, the author presents with artistic ambition the private life and professional career of Prince Eugene, extensively covering his campaigns against the Turks, which made him famous throughout Europe as a gifted warrior and culminated in the Battle of Zenta in 1697, describing the War of the Spanish Succession and numerous battles with Louis XIV's France, and last but not least, allowing a glimpse into the often complex world of this Baroque warrior and politician.
