Gerade für Einsteiger finde ich das Buch super. Durch die vielen Bilder wird das Buch aufgelockert und die Texte überrumpeln einen nicht. Leider hat der Autor im Vorwort Fehler gemacht. Die Familie Wellesley hieß früher Wesley. Der Autor schreibt aber kontinuierlich Welsey im Vorwort. Später im Buch schreibt er den Namen richtig.

This is a delightful book for those who already know the Duke of Wellington from the many shelves of books about his long and successful career as a military and political leader for Britain. For those new to the subject, author Gareth Glover has used this method to put some flesh on a famous man long gone from life. Glover is an accomplished historian for the period, and manages to work in both detail and context in each entry. The selection of items is fascinating in and of itself. Very well recommended to the student of the period and the general reader.
