Book Description:

The Duke of Wellington, the most successful of British commanders, set a standard by which all subsequent British generals have been measured. He had to contend not only with enemy armies, but also with his political masters and an often sceptical public at home. Written by an ex-soldier, this work examines Wellington's claims to greatness.
