Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, was an iconic figure in the British and world's history, most known for his victory over Napoleon Buonaparte at Waterloo in 1815. With Marshal Ney and Prussian general Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Wellington defeated the French troops, bringing the Napoleonic era in Europe. Yet, the life of Wellington was full of other important events. Twice in his life, he took the position of Prime Minister as a member of the Tory cabinet. He also was appointed a Governor of Plymouth, a Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, and Constable of the Tower of London. His military career included numerous trips to different parts of the world, including Holland, India, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and France. The prosperous army career of the Duke of Wellington includes many victories thanks to his strategic talent. The plans of his battles are still a subject of studies in military schools all over the world. A reader has a unique chance to learn about the most critical battles and political events of the Napoleonic era from the memoirs of Wellington. The book tells his life story from the beginning of his political career to the victory in the Battle at Waterloo.

Excerpt from Military Memoirs of Field Marshal, the Duke of Wellington, Vol. 1 of 2 Seventeen years have passed since, upon the plain of Waterloo, the illustrious subject of this memoir crowned his military fame; and, by one surpassing victory, closed his vast, various, and splendid services in the field. Of all the wars in which he was engaged, peace, "the mother and the nurse of all that is good for man," was the blessed end! The difficulty of doing any justice in such narrow limits to the development of a military character so eminent and unrivalled as that of the Duke of Wellington, has been severely felt by the Author. To produce a closely digested narrative of his achievements, suitable for the general reader, is the object of these volumes. The task has been laborious; for the Author had to read, compare, and reconcile many and various relations of the events which he describes; and to extract and condense the facts which they contain. He owes full acknowledgments to the Histories of Colonel Jones, Mr. Southey, and Colonel Napier; and especial thanks to some private friends, for the kindness with which they have afforded him information. For the opinions, military or political, which may be expressed or implied in these volumes, as well as for their general style, the Author alone is responsible. The work being of a professional nature, that interference which is generally understood to fall within the province of an Editor, has not, in the present instance, been exercised by Dr. Lardner.
