What made Arthur, Duke of Wellington the military genius who was never defeated in battle? In the vivid narrative style that is his trademark, Peter Snow recalls how Wellington evolved from a backward, sensitive schoolboy into the aloof but brilliant commander-in-chief. He tracks the development of Wellington's leadership & his relationship with the extraordinary band of men he led from Portugal in 1808 to the final destruction of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Having described his soldiers as the 'scum of the earth', Wellington transformed them into the finest fighting force of their time. Digging deep into the rich treasure trove of diaries & journals that make this war the first in history to be so well recorded, Snow examines Wellington's prickly relationship with generals such as the irascible Thomas Picton & the ruthless ' Black Bob' Craufurd, cavalrymen like the daredevil Fred Ponsonby, & soldiers including jaunty Irishman Ned Costello & failed actor Thomas Todd. Using many first-hand accounts, Snow describes the horror & the humanity of life in & out of battle, & he explains how Wellington mastered the battlefield to beat Napoleon & change the future of Europe. ...
