Wellington: A New Biography

I came to this book after watching the 1990s UK TV series ‘Sharpe' that tracks as corporal Sharpe rises through the ranks in Wellington's army during the Peninsula Wars. I expected deeper details about Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Welington) but the book did not serve it. It is quick glance at the life of Wellington without any particular in depth details. I suppose that's what a pocket biography ought to do.
