Wellington - A Military Life (Paperback)

The Duke of Wellington, the most successful of British commanders,
set a standard by which all subsequent British generals have been
measured. His defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 crowned a
reputation first won in India at Assaye and then confirmed during
the Peninsular War, where he followed up his defence of Portugal by
expelling the French from Spain. Gordon Corrigan, himself an
ex-soldier, examines his claims to greatness. Wellington was in
many ways the first modern general, combining a mastery of
logistics with an ability to communicate and inspire. He had to
contend not only with enemy armies, but also with his political
masters and an often sceptical public at home.
