The Duke of Wellington is a legend in British history, as one of the two British field commanders that never suffered a defeat in a pitched battle, the other is the Duke of Marlborugh. Elizabeth Pakenham, Lady Longford, has in her two volume monumental biography (1969, 1972) of Wellington managed to show us the boy, the youth, the man, and the old statesman, and create a full size life of one of the most remarkable men in history. Others have tried, and made good attempts, but no one - in my opinion - have succeeded in the way that Elizabeth Longford did.
The abridged one volume is of necessity not as comprehensive, but gives a good overview of Wellington's life, from the cradle to the grave. I would though, recommend anyone who reads the one volume edition, to read the original two volume edition too.
