Marche du Régiment du Roy - Jean-Baptiste Lully - French Military March

 Here. The good thing about the army of Louis XIV - it had some good music. 

Art by Francis Back Louis XIV's Army Osprey. Probably my favourite Osprey along with Wolfe's Army.

Thirty Years War novel.

 Free read of this interesting novel

WON BY THE SWORD

Turenne

Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne

'One of the greatest commanders in history.' Wiki

I picked up this coffee table book from a charity shop. Hardly looked at it. Was only £1. But I looked at it today and guess what? Turenne doesn't have an entry! Shocked I am. Anglocentric I guess.
