Life of Lord Kitchener, Volume 1

In this sweeping 1920 three-volume biography of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, better known as Lord Kitchener, SIR GEORGE ARTHUR (1860-1946)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. 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 later inspired those of the United States during World War II.
