In this ground-breaking new book, Alan Ogden brings to life Lt Gen
sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, soldier, statesman and an
often-overlooked figure in British Military and Diplomatic History.
Framed through the life of Carton de Wiart this book also offers an
exploration of important topics and developments in the first half
of the 20th-century, including the Boer War, World War I, World War
II and Anglo-Sino relations. This biography ranges from de
Wiart’s early life, his wartime experiences and role as
Churchill’s personal representative to Chiang Kai-shek. Ogden
draws from an extensive array of primary sources including
previously unseen private family papers to examine, in exquisite
detail, the life and times of a man who experienced the horrors of
war to rise up the ranks and become a personal representative of
Winston Churchill and then Clement Attlee. This book will be of
interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as
scholars studying British Military and Diplomatic history in the
first half of the twentieth century.
