The
author
of
Wellington
in
the
Peninsula
presents
an
in-depth
study
of
the
British
military
commander’s
early
career
in
Colonial
India.Before
Arthur
Wellesley,
the
future
1st
Duke
of
Wellington,
faced
Napoleon's
armies,
he
developed
his
skills
as
a
military
commander
in
the
far
reaches
of
the
British
Empire.
In
India,
Wellesley
led
his
men
to
victory
against
the
Tipu
Sultan
at
the
Battle
of
Mallavelly,
and
suffered
injury
at
the
Battle
of
Seringapatam.
He
would
later
put
his
experience
of
strategy
and
tactics
to
masterly
effect
against
his
most
formidable
opponent
in
years
to
come.Historian
Jac
Weller
gives
a
complete
account
of
Wellington's
career
in
India,
the
battles
and
sieges
he
undertook,
the
challenges
he
faced,
and
the
lessons
he
learned.
Weller
explores
the
first
major
steps
in
Wellesley's
career
and
demonstrates
how
these
early
triumphs
set
him
on
the
road
that
would
eventually
lead
to
Napoleon's
defeat
at Waterloo.
