Wellington as Military Commander by Michael Glover

Wellington as Military Commander by Michael Glover is well what the title says. Basically describes Wellington's command style throughout the Peninsula campaign and India. The descriptions explaining the geography of the battlefields are particularly clear. The tactics used as well as Wellington's impact on the battles and strategy is discussed. Perhaps most useful is a clear description of the Byzantine regulations and bureaucracy governing the Army as well as the complex promotion system. The book contains battle plans, illustrations, notes, bibliography and order a battle as well as short biographies of unit commanders on both sides.

Highly recommended!

Is available through Abebooks.
