Campaigns of Wellington

This military history, assembled from several hands, follows Arthur Wellesley, later the Duke of Wellington, through the principal campaigns that made his reputation. The account typically runs from the wars in India, through the long Peninsular struggle against Napoleonic France in Portugal and Spain, to the 1815 campaign in the Low Countries that ended at Waterloo. It treats marches, sieges, allied politics, and the structure of the army he commanded. The book is campaign narrative and analysis rather than a full private life: a record of how those wars were fought and won, compiled for the general reader of military history.
