""Lord Kitchener"" is a biography written by G.K. Chesterton in 1917 about the life of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, a British military leader and statesman who played a significant role in the Boer War and World War I. The book explores Kitchener's upbringing, his military career, his political and diplomatic achievements, and his tragic death on board the HMS Hampshire in 1916. Chesterton portrays Kitchener as a complex and enigmatic figure, both admired and criticized for his leadership style and policies. The biography also offers insights into the political and social context of the early 20th century, including the tensions between Britain and Germany and the impact of World War I on British society. Overall, ""Lord Kitchener"" provides a compelling portrait of one of Britain's most influential military and political leaders of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
