Greenhill Books have printed in paperback for the first time, Jac Weller's classic study of leadership at the climatic battle of the Napoleonic Wars. One of the purposes that Mr. Weller had in writing this book was it to serve as a tool for teaching leadership to young military officers. Rather than providing the reader with an overview of all the events that were happening, when they happened, Mr. Weller provides the reader only with the information that Wellington would have had at the time he needed to make a decision. This information or lack of information is then analyzed to show how it affected his decisions at critical moments in the battle. Although this approach limits the reader ability to gain a complete picture of this decisive battle, it goes far in explaining Wellington's style of leadership and the genius behind it.
