Book synopsis

In this detailed and accessible account, Moon traces Wellingtons command of British forces during the six years of warfare against the French. Almost immediately upon landing in Portugal in 1808, Wellington was hampered by his governments struggle to plan a strategy for victory. From that point on, Moon argues, the militarys outdated promotion system, political maneuvering, and bureaucratic inertiaall subject to public opinion and a hostile pressthwarted Wellingtons efforts, almost costing him the victory. Drawing on archival sources in the United Kingdom and at the United States Military Academy, Moon goes well beyond detailing military operations to delve into the larger effects of domestic policies, bureaucracy, and coalition building on strategy.
