Book Synopsis Empire, War and Faith in Early Modern Europe by : Geoffrey Parker
Book excerpt: Failure is fascinating, partly because it is so common. In the 20th century, Enoch Powell claimed that All political lives end in failure; while, according the Winston Churchill, Success is never final. This has always been true: Geoffrey Parker's new book examines ten cases, from the history of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.
