Description
The Iron Duke is a gripping biography of Britain's greatest soldier, the man who posed the most serious threat to Napoleon. Richard Holmes masterfully recreates the life and campaigns of the Duke of Wellington, from his early days in India to his European conquests. With astute historical analysis and a semi-biographical examination, Holmes sheds new light on the complexities of Wellington's character, revealing a man of immense courage, idealism, and wit, yet also one who struggled with his own demons and the harsh realities of war.
