Why read it?

1 author picked Wellington as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I read this when I was reading Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe books, and I thought Longford’s account of a flawed but brilliant man was astounding. Very readable with in-depth insight and research. It sparked a lifelong fascination with the Peninsular War.

From Jane's list on first-hand accounts of warzones.
