Don't know why, but this was a real slog, not helped by a lack of maps. ( )

3566. The War of the Austrian Succession, by Reed Browning (read Apr 6 2002) This is a 1993 work by the head of the history department at Kenyon College, in Ohio, and is solidly authoritative. It is not "popular" history but is well-written and a good book for anyone wanting to know more about an interesting but little-known war. The war began 16 Dec 1740 and ended in 1748. Most worth-while. ( )
