—This book demonstrates how a great commander finally achieved victory after six years of battle against Napoleon's army. The author covers all the battles against the French that Wellington was involved in during the Peninsular War 1808-1814.

From a Review….”Weller tells the history of the Peninsular War based solely on Wellington's knowledge at the time of the events described. Weller had personally fired the firearms used, and had walked the battlefields. Weller is a master storyteller and a shrewd editor, passing lightly over periods of inaction but at all times describing the strategic situation faced by Wellington and engaging the reader in the excitement of battle. Weller is polite to a fault in treating the blunders of British officers; if an officer is truly incompetent, he is described as "unfortunate". This history is consistent with his analysis of Wellington in "Wellington at Waterloo": that Wellington is one of history's greatest military commanders, who never made an important error or lost a battle.”
