Excerpt from Earl Roberts, V. C., Lord Kitchener and the Great Boer War: Early Life of a Great Soldier, Experiences in Indian Mutiny, The Umbeyla Expedition, The Abyssinian Expedition, Into the Land of Lushais, Leading the Kuram Field Force to Victory, Fighting His Way to Kabul, The March to Kandahar After a careful study of the life of Earl Roberts and the con¿icts through which he has passed after living with him in imagination through his long military career, after seeing him in school, in the mess, in camp, on the battlefield, and in the council chambers of the Empire, I have been led to the conclusion that he is one of the truly great men of the world, one who is a living life-fountain, one who would be profitable company for the young man beginning his fight of life, for the mature man in the heat of the noonday struggle, for the old man, who, if he be not successful himself, can still rejoice in the achievements of those who began the race with him. It is with this feeling, a feeling akin to hero-worship, that this Life has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
