Through many first-hand accounts, Snow brings to life the horrors and all of the humanity of life in and out of battle, as well as shows the way that Wellington mastered the battlefield to outsmart the French and change the future of Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞To War with Wellington＜/em＞ is the gripping account of a very human story about a remarkable leader and his men.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
