For most of us Wellington equals Waterloo. But Waterloo was one peak only in the career of this phenomenal man, and it is the achievement of this major biography that it reveals the subtlety and full variety of Wellington's genius as well as the fascinating complexity of England in his time. He was born Arthur Wesley, third son of the Earl of Mornington, in 1769 - the same year as Napoleon.
Sadly no longer in print, this is arguably the best biography of the military career of Wellington ever written.
