The Armies of Wellington is the most comprehensive account ever published of the effect of this one man on the British Army during the Napoleonic era. This profusely illustrated study by Philip IIaythornthwaite sets out to demonstrate Wellington's flexibility by showing the changes he employed in the various theatres in which he was active. It is not simply another biography but an assessment of how he altered the structure and equipment of his troops for each of his campaigns.
