Summary note

The story of Britain's greatest-ever soldier, the man who posed the most serious threat to Napoleon. The book charts the Duke of Wellington's stellar military career from India to Europe, and in the process, rediscovers the reasons Queen Victoria called him the greatest man the 19th century produced. Combining historical analysis with a semi-biographical examination, it examines all facets of the Iron Duke.
