Military Dispatches by The Duke Of Wellington
The Duke of Wellington was not only an incomparable battle commander but a remarkably expressive, fluent and powerful writer. His dispatches have long been viewed as classics of military literature and have been pillaged by all writers on the Peninsular War and the final campaigns in France and Belgium ever since they were published.Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) is generally viewed as Britain's greatest military commander. He fought in some fifty encounters across India and Europe, with almost all battles ending in victory. He finally defeated Napoleon as commander of the Allied forces at Waterloo. He was twice British prime minister.
Charles Esdaile is the author of The Peninsular War and Napoleon's Wars (both published by Penguin) and is Professor of History at the University of Liverpool.
