I want to read a book on Arthur Wellesley and I’m trying to decide between Elizabeth Langford’s Years of the Sword/Pillar of State and Richard Holmes Wellington: The Iron Duke. Just wondering which people here would recommend?

I've heard nothing but praise for the second book! Haven't read it myself (yet).

Same. Also has the advantage of still being in print.
