Who let the turbid streams of rumour flow Through either babbling world of high and low; Whose life was work, whose language rife With rugged maxims hewn from life.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book gathers together the wise and witty sayings of the first Duke of Wellington, known as the 'Iron Duke', one of Britain's most celebrated war heroes. The 19th-century general and statesman was in charge of the allied armies that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 and served twice as Prime Minister. He was a complex and contradictory figure - a brilliant military strategist but also a ruthless suppressor of dissent at home. This collection of his trenchant and often self-deprecating comments offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important figures of his era. From his views on politics and strategy to his thoughts on religion and society, this volume provides a unique insight into the life and times of the great Duke.
