This engaging biography examines the life of "the hero of Waterloo." From his boyhood to his first military experiences, from his rise to prominence, to his success at Waterloo and, finally, his role as statesman--the least successful stage of his career--this comprehensive portrait captures the compelling life story of the legendary officer.
