Dealing With The Duke: An Analysis Of The Politics Of The Duke Of Wellington

He is remembered for being the vanquisher of Napoleon, as the man who led the allies to victory over the Corsican Usurper at the battle of Waterloo. To history that is all he is, a footnote in the Napoleonic legend, but the life of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, did not end at Waterloo. Following the battle he would return to Great Britain and a life in politics, continuing his service to his king and country. This book will look at the political life of the Duke of Wellington, whose impact on British History was more profound than a simple battle on a Belgian field. Though he had beaten Napoleon, the rest of his career would be forgotten in the shadow cast by Bonaparte's legacy. This book will shine light on that career, and bring it out of the shadows.
