The eventful and controversial career of Sir Horatio Herbert Kitchener (1850-1916) is celebrated in this 1917 biography. In volume one, Grew focuses on Kitchener’s early years, as well as his work in Palestine, and on the Egyptian campaign. The second volume examines Kitchener’s role in the Boer War. Volume three wraps up with a treatment of the European war and Kitchener’s armies—ending with his death at sea in 1916.
