Yes agreed, Wel...Hi Adam, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Yes agreed, Weller's book has stood the test of time and still makes an enthralling informative read. <br /><br />That said I think Huw J Davies' more recent title Wellington's Wars adds to that understanding of Wellington's development and his mastering the art of manoeuvre that he first developed in India and once able to go on the offensive in the Peninsula War, utilised to the full in the Vitoria Campaign of 1813 where his rapid movements completely unhinged the French defensive lines as he leapfrogged around them.<br /><br />I reviewed this book back in 2014 and it is well worth getting.<br />http://jjwargames.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/wellingtons-wars-huw-j-davies.html<br /><br />Having now got back from Holland I found my copy of Wellington's First Battle waiting for me and have enjoyed the read.<br /><br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-74051887948615618942017-08-28T17:58:14.447-07:002017-08-28T17:58:14.447-07:00Very interesting.

The title name is weird in my opinion because he isn't Wellington yet, but it does cover Arthur's India experience in good depth. The battle maps are pretty good, and you come away with a greater appreciation for Arthur's development as an army leader and diplomat. It was published in 1972 and I found my copy in a novelty book store for $10. It was a good read and i think you would enjoy it. You can find it on Amazon for around $20.A.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04557979425409883713noreply@blogger.com
