Wellington's commanders were undoubtedly a breed apart. Among these heroes were cavalry officer Henry Paget; who kept the French horses from the heels of the retreating British infantry with a dashing charge at Benavente; and Thomas Picton; who concealed his injuries from his men while commanding to his last breath. This book examines the command and staff system of Wellington's army during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815); and the background; character and war records of his commanding officers. Numerous illustrations; including eight full colour plates; depict the officers' uniforms in vivid detail.
