| Zusammenfassung: | The Duke of Wellington was not just Britainʹs greatest soldier, although his seismic struggles as leader of the Allied forces against Napoleon in the Peninsular War deservedly became the stuff of British national legend. Wellington was much more: a man of vision beyond purely military matters, a politically astute thinker, and a canny diplomat as well as lover, husband, and friend. Rory Muirʹs masterful new biography, the first of a two-volume set, is the fruit of a lifetimeʹs research and discovery into Wellington and his times. The author brings Wellington into much sharper focus than ever before, addressing his masterstrokes and mistakes in equal measure. Muir looks at all aspects of Wellingtonʹs career, from his unpromising youth through his remarkable successes in India and his role as junior minister in charge of Ireland, to his controversial military campaigns. With dramatic descriptions of major battles and how they might have turned out differently, the author underscores the magnitude of Wellingtonʹs achievements. The biography is the first to address the major significance of Wellingtonʹs political connections and shrewdness, and to set his career within the wider history of British politics and the war against Napoleon. The volume also revises Wellingtonʹs reputation for being cold and aloof, showing instead a man of far more complex and interesting character. -- Publisher description. |

Waterloo and the fortunes of peace, 1814-1852 New Haven : Yale University Press, [2015] ©2015 1 online resource : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. The Duke of Wellington was not just Britainʹs greatest soldier, although his seismic struggles as leader of the Allied forces against Napoleon in the Peninsular War deservedly became the stuff of British national legend. Wellington was much more: a man of vision beyond purely military matters, a politically astute thinker, and a canny diplomat as well as lover, husband, and friend. Rory Muirʹs masterful new biography, the first of a two-volume set, is the fruit of a lifetimeʹs research and discovery into Wellington and his times. The author brings Wellington into much sharper focus than ever before, addressing his masterstrokes and mistakes in equal measure. Muir looks at all aspects of Wellingtonʹs career, from his unpromising youth through his remarkable successes in India and his role as junior minister in charge of Ireland, to his controversial military campaigns. With dramatic descriptions of major battles and how they might have turned out differently, the author underscores the magnitude of Wellingtonʹs achievements. The biography is the first to address the major significance of Wellingtonʹs political connections and shrewdness, and to set his career within the wider history of British politics and the war against Napoleon. The volume also revises Wellingtonʹs reputation for being cold and aloof, showing instead a man of far more complex and interesting character. -- Publisher description. Text in English.
