wel lington his proper niche among the worlds great in the opinion of philip guedalla luthor of the iron duke the biographer is inclined to blame his torians who hold the odd belief that waterloo was lortt- by napoleon rather than won by wellington a century of french assertion combined with a stead ily increasing napoleonic cult has further served to take from wellington some of the large measure of fame that is his due mr guedalla maintains r although napoleons mistakes served to heighten the disaster to the french at waterloo the allied victory would never have been possible without wellingtons cool brilliant leadership and indomitable courage the biography says mr gue dalla wites that it was a miracle that wellington came out of the terrific battle alive for as usual he was everywhere fighting his line along the ridge as a com mander fights his ship in action he rode copenhagen and all day long the cheat- nut carried him along the lanes of weary men the author continues each shift of the interminable battle elicited a gruff commentor an orderscrawled on a scrap of parchment late that night blucher met in the road on horseback and dasped a weary duke wellington rode slowly back to waterloo there was no feeling of elation and they were all exhausted besides he had a solemn notion that where so many had fallen close to him he had somehow been preserved by provi dence although wellingtons memory survives largely because of the battle of water loo his life was full of achievements which are overshadowed only by the de feat of napoleon the biography adds forty
