Life of Lord Kitchener by Sir George Arthur Pdf

In this sweeping 1920 biography of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, better known as Lord Kitchener, Sir George Arthur shines a bright light on the British military leader and statesman who, during World War I, organized armies on an unprecedented scale and became famous as the face on British recruitment posters. Volume II begins in 1900, following Kitchener's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Boer War, continuing through his years in India, his proconsulship in Egypt, and his departure for England in 1914 on the eve of World War I. Written only four years after his death in 1916, this valuable historical account by a friend and contemporary offers a look behind the handlebar mustache and pointing finger of the man whose "Your country needs YOU" posters inspired those of the United States during World War II. British writer SIR GEORGE ARTHUR (1860-1946) also wrote A Septuagenarian's Scrapbook and Not Worth Reading.

The Kitchener Enigma by Trevor Royle Pdf

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 fighting the war on multiple fronts.

Who Killed Kitchener? by David Laws Pdf

In June 1916, Field Marshal Lord Kitchener set sail from Orkney on a secret mission to bolster the Russian war effort. Just a mile off land and in the teeth of a force 9 gale, HMS Hampshire suffered a huge explosion, sinking in little more than fifteen minutes. Crew and passengers numbered 749; only twelve survived. Kitchener's body was never found. Remembered today as the face of the famous First World War recruitment drive, at the height of his career Kitchener was fêted as Britain's greatest military hero since Wellington. By 1916, however, his star was in its descent. A controversial figure who did not make friends easily in Cabinet, he was considered by many to be arrogant, secretive and high-handed. From the moment his death was announced, rumours of a conspiracy began to flourish, with the finger pointed variously at the Bolsheviks, Irish nationalist saboteurs and even the British government. Using newly released files kept secret for almost 100 years, former Cabinet minister David Laws unravels the true story behind the demise of this complex figure, debunking the conspiracy theories and revealing the crucial blunders that the government and military sought to cover up. The result is the definitive account of an event that shook the country and which has been shrouded in mystery ever since.

Life of Lord Kitchener, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint) by Sir George Arthur Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Lord Kitchener, Vol. 1 of 3 I would ask the indulgence of the public - who may regret that the story of Lord Kitchener's life should not have been entrusted to a biographer of experience - for shortcomings which may mar this book. My sincere thanks are due to many friends who have lent me letters and excellent advice; and I am under a special debt of gratitude to Major-General Lord Edward Gleichen and Major- General Sir Frederick Maurice for valuable help in describing operations in Egypt and the Sudan and in the Great War. I would also record my thanks for the facilities offered me by Sir Reginald Brade, the Secretary of the War Office, whose own untiring efforts to lighten Lord Kitchener's labours have been matched by an unswerving loyalty to his memory.

Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV Kitchener's delicate duty during the latter months of 1884 was to keep up communication with Gordon, whose rather fretful messages--more than excusable under the strain and sense of desolation--made difficulties a little more difficult. Gordon, for instance, curiously failed to make allowance for the risks and chances to which the messengers and missives were exposed. Thus (September 24) he complains that the only messengers who ever reach him are his own, whom he had sent out from Khartum; that the British officers "seem to grudge the least expense" in giving him information, or else that "they think it of no importance." He wonders that "men like Kitchener" should "not have more brains than to write merely 'I hope you are well, ' " or "ask silly questions" such as Kitchener's to Stewart, "What can I do for you?" 1 He is vexed that Kitchener, l The reference was, of course, to personal necessaries and comforts. Kitchener in after years told his nephew how he managed to send a message to Gordon asking what he wanted--meaning sponge, tooth-brush, and so on. The answer he received was a long tirade against the Government, asking for troops! Eventually Kitchener got a parcel of necessaries through to him, carefully wrapped up in the latest papers. Gordon, missing this fact, threw away the wrapping, complained of getting no news, and looked upon it as a piece of luck when a servant came to him two days later with the papers. "They are like gold," he wrote, and "gave us far more information than any of the letters. Did K. send them by accident or on purpose?" Chaf.xiy RELATIONS WITH GORDON 103 while announcing the approaching Expedition, omitted to say by what route it was coming. Kitchener, as a matter of fact, scraped up every...
