Wellington: A Personal History
Autor Christopher Hibberten Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 1999
A
brilliant
general,
remembered
most
for
his
defeat
of
Napoleon
at
Waterloo,
Wellington
was
also
a
politician
of
commanding
presence.
Elected
Prime
Minister
in
1827,
he
was
an
influential
adviser
to
kings
and
queens,
and
became
deeply
involved
in
all
the
major
scandals
of
the
time,
delighting
in
mixing
himself
up
in
other
people's
affairs.
Celebrated
for
his
sardonic
humor
and
savage
rages
which
alternated
with
irresistible
charm,
he
concealed
a
deep
humanity
behind
a
veneer
of
aloofness
that
gained
him
the
sobriquet,
“the
Iron
Duke.”
Filled
with
fresh
insights
on
aspects
of
Wellington's
life
and
character,
Christopher
Hibbert
has
shown
once
again
why
he
is
one
of
our
finest
popular
historians.
