{"product_id":"books-wellington-s-voice-by-gareth-glover","title":"Wellington's Voice","description":"John Fremantle was on Wellington's personal staff through the later years of the Peninsular War and Waterloo campaigns.He had a uniquely privileged view of the general and tells of his exploits - good and bad. The letters were written to his uncle, who was effectively his guardian, an army man and no shrinking violet.Fremantle deals with military matters in detail and gives a great insight into Wellington's honest views of matters - not the sanitised diplomatic versions Wellington allowed to be published in later life. He also talks a great deal about the personalities in 'Wellington's family' and the 'Great Man', giving very honest, forthright views of their strengths and failings and brings many little-known incidents to light.An expose of what life was like working with Wellington and an honest portrait of the man warts and all - this is a truly remarkable find and will certainly cause debate in the Napoleonic community.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510458933521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781848325739.jpg?v=1778175690","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-wellington-s-voice-by-gareth-glover","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
