Description
Arthur Wellington's remarkable rise to military genius is told in vivid detail in this gripping account of the seven-year campaign that saved Europe from Napoleon.
Through a treasure trove of diaries and journals, Peter Snow brings to life the story of Wellington's leadership and his relationship with the men who fought alongside him, from the 'scum of the earth' to the finest fighting force of their time.
This is a gripping and human story about a remarkable leader and his men, one that explores the horrors and humanity of life in and out of battle, and shows how Wellington mastered the battlefield to outsmart the French and change the future of Europe.
