Présentation de l'éditeur

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 fi ghting the war on multiple fronts.
