Title Description 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 advisor to three monarchs and became deeply involved in all the major scandals of the time. Celebrated for his sardonic humor, curt comments, and savage rages alternating with irresistible charm, Wellington concealed a deep humanity behind a veneer of hard and intimidating aloofness that gained him the sobriquet "the Iron Duke." Unhappily married, he took great pleasure in female company. Based on a wide variety of sources and filled with fresh insights into Wellington's life and character, Hibbert has shown once again why he is one of our finest popular historians. "Hibbert is one of England's greatest living historical writers and reading anything by him is pure pleasure. WELLINGTON should be enjoyed and savored."
