The vivid and exciting accounts written from the front line, taking
the story of the British war with Napoleon from its desperate
beginnings in Portugal to the final triumph at Waterloo The Duke of
Wellington was not only an incomparable battle commander but a
remarkably expressive, fluent and powerful writer. His dispatches
have long been viewed as classics of military literature and have
been pillaged by all writers on the Peninsular War and the final
campaigns in France and Belgium ever since they were published.
This new selection allows the reader to follow the extraordinary
epic in Wellington's own words - from the tentative beginnings in
1808, clinging to a small area of Portugal in the face of
overwhelming French power across the whole of the rest of Europe,
to the campaigns that over six years devastated opponent after
opponent. The book ends with Wellington's invasion of France and
the coda of 'the 100 days' that ended with Napoleon's final defeat
at Waterloo.
