The Duke of Wellington and the British army of occupation in France, 1815-1818

From the publisher: “A relatively unexamined aspect of the career of the Duke of Wellington–his command of allied forces occupying France–serves as the focus of this work. Veve traces the history of the 1815-1818 occupation and the role that Wellington played in making the first multinational peacekeeping force a success. He explores the decisions made and procedures established by the Duke, and demonstrates that Wellington's command was not simply the final chapter in a successful military career, but rather an important transition to his future political endeavors.”
