""The Peace of Utrecht"" is a comprehensive historical review of the Great Treaty of 1713-14 and the principal events of the War of the Spanish Succession. Written by James Watson Gerard and first published in 1885, this book provides a detailed account of the negotiations that led to the signing of the treaty, which brought an end to more than a decade of conflict in Europe. The book discusses the political and military strategies of the major powers involved, including France, Great Britain, Spain, and the Dutch Republic, and analyzes the impact of the treaty on the balance of power in Europe. The author also provides insights into the personalities and motivations of the key figures involved in the negotiations, including the Duke of Marlborough, Queen Anne, and Louis XIV.
