Phoenix. Good. 21.3 x 13.5 x 2.8 centimetres (0. Paperback. 2009. 369 pages. Cover worn<br>Jane Wellesley is a member of one of Bri tain's most illustrious families. Her father, the 8th Duke of Wel lington, was born in 1915, 100 years after the first Duke's momen tous victory over Napoleon at Waterloo, but only a littlemore tha n 60years after the death of his celebrated ancestor. When the Ir on Duke died Queen Victoria wept with the nation, mourning the lo ss of the greatest man England has known. Jane's family memoir an imates the First Duke as husband and father, as brother and sever al degrees of grandfather. Her journey through this richly compel ling family history begins and ends with the first Duke, visiting the battlefield of Waterloo with her father to set her fascinati ng tale in motion. Through her parents she reaches back to earlie r generations, weaving together characters and places, establishi ng connections, and exploring in greater depth than usual the Wel lington women. She unearths memories, visits places from her pare nts' past, and discovers much about the lives of her grandparents and the generations before them. In this highly personal account , the public man gives way to the private, and Wellington's legac y is seen through the eyes of those who have followed in his foot steps. ., Phoenix, 2009, 2.5, New York: Berkley Publishing Corp..
