Includes 8 illustrations. Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener, 1st Earl of Khartoum still stands as one of the great generals produced by Britain. His career was marked by great deeds, and great controversies. The son of a military family, he trained at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich before his first trip to the Middle East surveying in Palestine in 1874. He joined the newly formed Egyptian Army in 1883, which was in reality controlled by the British, and embarked on campaign in Sudan. He was part of the failed Gordon relief expedition in 1884, and learned a great deal of the area, its people and the military problems of fighting in the arid desert. By 1892 he was Sirdar, head of the Egyptian army, he was given command of the expedition to crush the self-appointed Mahdi who had taken control of large parts of Sudan. It was during this campaign that he gained public and Royal attention after the victories of Atbara and Omdurman that crushed the revolt of the Mahdi. He served as Lord Robert’s second in command during the Boer War and served with distinction and much success, although his institution of concentration camps caused great outrage and awful civilian distress. Perhaps his greatest services were during the First World War, as Secretary of State for War, fashioning a great civilian army to fight the militarised hordes of Germany in France and Flanders. He may have gained even greater fame, but was tragically lost at sea when the H.M.S. Hampshire was torpedoed in 1916. An excellent short biography.

Excerpt from Earl Kitchener of Khartoum: The Story of His Life It was not, perhaps, until after the triumphant vindication of his policy as "Sirdar" in Egypt, that the name of Herbert Kitchener became widely known, though for more than twenty years before the final breaking of the Mahdi's power and the completion of the re-conquest of the Soudan, it was familiar to many people as that of a strong, self-reliant young officer of the Engineers who was certain "to be heard of." It was known to those who had studied the progress of affairs in Egypt during the tragic eighties, and it was familiar to those who were interested in the wonderful work achieved in the Holy Land during the seventies by the officers engaged by the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund. During the past sixteen or eighteen years it has become familiar in our mouths as a household word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this critically acclaimed biography, now fully updated, Royle revises Kitchener's latter-day image as a stern taskmaster, the ultimate war lord, to reveal a caring man capable of displaying great loyalty and love to those close to him. New light is thrown on his Irish childhood, his years in the Middle East as a biblical archaeologist, his attachment to the Arab cause and on the infamous struggle with Lord Curzon over control of the army in India. In particular, Royle reassesses Kitchener's role in the Great War, presenting his phenomenally successful recruitment campaign – 'Your Country Needs You' – as a major contribution to the Allied victory and rehabilitating him as a brilliant strategist who understood the importance of fighting the war on multiple fronts.

In this sweeping 1920 biography of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, better known as Lord Kitchener, Sir George Arthur shines a bright light on the British military leader and statesman who, during World War I, organized armies on an unprecedented scale and became famous as the face on British recruitment posters. Volume I covers Kitchener's birth in Ireland in 1850 through his governorship of the British Red Sea territories, ascension to commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army and, in 1900, to commander-in-chief of the Boer War. Written only four years after his death in 1916, this valuable historical account by a friend and contemporary offers a look behind the handlebar mustache and pointing finger of the man whose "Your country needs YOU" posters later inspired those of the United States during World War II. British writer SIR GEORGE ARTHUR (1860-1946) also wrote A Septuagenarian's Scrapbook and Not Worth Reading.

Excerpt from Lord Kitchener: The Story of His Life and Work The life of Kitchener is embraced in an epoch of European history which the Great World War brings to a close. "He belongs to history," a French poet has declared; "he entered it while still alive, there to remain for ever." His "baptism of fire" was received in the Franco-Prussian War, and it was directly due to the Russo-Turkish War, which resulted in the setting up of independent states in the Balkans, where the political influences of Austria and Russia were for a generation to quiver in the balance, that his genius for organization and administration was given a chance of development, especially in Cyprus and Asia Minor. In Egypt, too, Kitchener figures in a distinct historical epoch. He entered that country, in a military capacity, immediately after the bombardment of Alexandria, of which he was an eyewitness; he took part in the stamping out of the Arabi Pasha rebellion; he assisted in the training and organization of the new native army, of which he became in time the Sirdar; he was associated with Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, and, as a soldier and administrator, he realized Gordon's ambition by reclaiming the Sudan from barbarism. After a brief but brilliant period of service as British Agent in Egypt, he took part, as a member of the British Government, in shaping the policy that finally freed Egypt from the thraldom of Turkey and ushered in a new age in the history of the ancient land of the Pharaohs. Had Kitchener's services been confined to Egypt alone, they would have ensured his undying reputation as a great soldier and great administrator. With the progress of time, however, they became more universal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
