Books by Rene Chartrand

A new and updated vision of the War of Spanish Succession largely won by the Sun King's armies.

Volume 1 deals with the Sun King's early years, from his birth in 1638, the resounding victory of Rocroi when he was five and a child king, the unstable years of the Fronde civil wars, his seizure of absolute power in 1661, the initial foreign military adventures culminating with the French army's blitzkriegs of 1667-1668.

"Forts of the War of 1812".
