註釋Sarsfield & the Jacobites is a military biography set against the background of the 'Glorious Revolution' and the Williamite War (1688-1691). It examines Sarsfield's military career in detail, with special focus on his role as the most outstanding Irish soldier of the Williamite War. Special attention is given to his presence at the Boyne, Athlone and Aughrim; his heroic defence of Limerick and his part in negotiating the famous Treaty are fully considered and weighed. Episodes like his celebrated raid on the Williamite siege train at Ballyneety are thoroughly covered as are his final days with the 'Wild Geese' in Flanders. The result is a comprehensive and reliable narrative of a legendary military career.
