Excerpt from The Confidential Correspondence of Napoleon Bonaparte With His Brother Joseph, Sometime King of Spain, Vol. 2 of 2: Selected and Translated, With Explanatory Notes, From the Memoires Du Roi Joseph MY Brother, - General La Romana has less than 1000 men pressed into the service, naked, and dying of hunger; he no longer dares trust his army in the field, exasperated as it is against him. Marshal Soult attacked him on the 26th with 2 cavalry regiments, and took 1500 men and 2 standards. He entered Leon on the 30th, and found 2000 sick in the hospitals. The army of Gallicia cannot be said to have really existed after the affair of Espinosa, and now less than ever.

The leading Wellington historian’s fascinating reassessment of the Iron Duke’s most famous victory and his role in the turbulent politics after Waterloo. For Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, his momentous victory over Napoleon was the culminating point of a brilliant military career. Yet Wellington’s achievements were far from over: he commanded the allied army of occupation in France to the end of 1818, returned home to a seat in Lord Liverpool’s cabinet, and became prime minister in 1828. He later served as a senior minister in Peel’s government and remained commander-in-chief of the army for a decade until his death in 1852. In this richly detailed work, the second and concluding volume of Rory Muir’s definitive biography, the author offers a substantial reassessment of Wellington’s significance as a politician and a nuanced view of the private man behind the legend of the selfless hero. Muir presents new insights into Wellington’s determination to keep peace at home and abroad, achieved by maintaining good relations with the Continental powers and resisting radical agitation while granting political equality to the Catholics in Ireland rather than risk civil war. And countering one-dimensional pictures of Wellington as a national hero, Muir paints a portrait of a well-rounded man whose austere demeanor on the public stage belied his entertaining, gossipy, generous, and unpretentious private self. “[An] authoritative and enjoyable conclusion to a two-part biography.” —Lawrence James, Times (London) “Muir conveys the military, political, social and personal sides of Wellington’s career with equal brilliance. This will be the leading work on the subject for decades.” —Andrew Roberts, author of Napoleon and Wellington: The Long Duel
