Description

The third of Jac Weller’s trilogy concerns the period before the future Duke of Wellington faced Napoleon’s armies, but throughout which he earned his spurs as a military commander. It used to be in India that he gained his experience of strategy and tactics, which he would put to masterly effect against his most formidable opponent in years yet to come. Jac Weller gives an entire account of Wellington’s career in India, the battles and sieges he undertook and the lessons he learned that prepared him for the campaigns he would later undertake against the most efficient European armies. He explores in his full of life, clear and readable style the first major steps in Wellesley’s career, steps that provided him with the experience to deal so expertly with the problems facing him when the way forward for Britain and the entire of Europe lay in his hands. His triumphs in India set Wellesley at the road that would sooner or later lead to Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo.
