Horatio Herbert Kitchener, Earl Kitchener of Khartoum (1850-1916)
is one of the most important figures in the history of the British
Empire. Beginning as Royal Engineer in the 1870s he would end his
career over forty years later as Secretary of State for War - the
iconic figure of World War I recruitment posters. In between he
became both the most famous British soldier in the world during the
peak period of European imperialism, and a celebrated and sometimes
controversial pro-consul and administrator. At his death in 1916 he
had literally become the 'face' of the British war effort. This new
biography offers a timely and modern evaluation of a still disputed
and complex military man of empire.
