This is Brough Scott's moving biography of his grandfather - the
author of the best-selling Warrior. 'Galloper' Jack Seely was at
the heart of some of the most important events of the first part of
the 20th century. His early life was one of adventure, sailing to
the antipodes, saving the crew of a French ship wrecked off the
coast of the Isle of Wight and later raising a squadron and joining
the Boer War, where he was awarded the DSO for his bravery. On his
return to England he was elected Conservative MP for the Isle of
Wight, but just like his close friend Winston Churchill, later
crossed over to the Liberal party. At the outbreak of the First
World War, Seely went to the Western Front and there made his name
as a humane and innovative leader. Written with honesty and wit,
this is an exciting, unusual and thought-provoking biography of a
man who has been unfairly treated by history.
