Who was the Duke of Wellington - Joshua Doder

When he was a little boy everyone despaired of Arthur he was no good at his lessons, no good at music, no good at languages. But then he went to military school, and it soon became clear that Arthur would grow into a great man and do his bit for Britain though no one yet knew just how great he would turn out to be. For Arthur, the Duke of Wellington, battle and victory for England was everything. Determined, courageous and disciplined, he would stop at nothing to defeat Napoleon as he struggled to gain control of Europe.
