Blev ansat under den franske konge Louis XV, hvor han hurtigt forfremmedes til marskal og var den ansvarlige for, at Frankrig vandt de mange slag i den periode. Forfatteren fortæller en hel del om bastioner, glacis, barbetter og paralleller m.v., mere end om de slag marskallen førte. Bogen er skrevet i romanform. |
