Book excerpt: AUTOBIOGRAPHY and its half-brother biography are two of the most useful members of the great family of literature. Lord Roberts placed a high value on their services. His own fascinating Forty One Years in India and his careful study of the Rise of Wellington are sufficient proofs of this. Throughout his long life, Roberts always retained his youthful affection for John Nicholson. Nicholson impressed the author more profoundly. He was the beau-ideal of a soldier and a gentleman. The author acknowledges him in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Roberts of Kandahar, V. C: The Life-Story of a Great Soldier N 1881 a public speaker referred to Sir Frederick Roberts, as he then was, as the most popular man in England, and there was no exaggeration in the statement. The fame of the great soldier's triumphant march from Kabul to Kandahar was, of course, then fresh in men's minds. To-day, when the story of that march is nearly twenty years old, it has come to be the lot of the man who was its dominating spirit to enter, at an age when he might excusably have been looking towards the quietude of retirement, upon such a task as has not fallen to any other military leader of our time. The task which Lord Roberts has undertaken in South Africa is likely to make many readers wish for some slight out line sketch of his career, that they may have, in brief compass, the record of the achieve ments which won for, and maintain Lord Roberts in, the position of one of the most popular men of his time. Such outline is all this small book pretends to be. Lord Roberts has himself, in his fascinating volume, Forty-one Years in India, given us8 preface.

Book excerpt: The story of the British commander who led a three-hundred-mile march from Kabul to Kandahar and became the toast of Victorian England. This book examines the role of Frederick Roberts in the Second Anglo-Afghan War, culminating in his famous march in 1880 with ten thousand British and Indian soldiers, covering three hundred miles in twenty-three days, from Kabul to Kandahar to defeat the Afghan army of Ayub Khan, pretender to the Amirship of Kabul. The march made Roberts one of late Victorian England’s great military heroes, partly because of the achievement itself, partly because the victory restored British prestige after defeat, and finally because of Roberts’ astute use of the press to puff his victory. This overcame the earlier damage done to his reputation by the political storm that followed his hanging of over eighty Afghans in revenge for the massacre of a British envoy and his escort. It enabled the liberal Viceroy of India, Lord Ripon, to extract his forces from an Afghan imbroglio with prestige restored and an emir on the Afghan throne who for thirty-nine years maintained friendship with British India. Roberts (or Bobs as he was known) subsequently advanced to command the Indian Army, working closely with future viceroys to influence Indian defense policy on the North-West Frontier, and being hymned by Rudyard Kipling, poet of empire. His bestselling autobiography, Forty-One Years in India, established his image before the British public and he remains one of Britain’s best known, if least understood, military figures

G.C.I.E. and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 2427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Includes over 140 maps, portraits and illustrations] Field Marshal “Bob” Roberts was one the most successful and well-loved generals of the British Army, decorated and distinguished in many actions and holder of the highest award for valour in action the Victoria Cross. He fought and commanded in Abyssinia, the UK and South Africa to great acclaim; however the majority of his life was spent on service in India and Afghanistan. His history and that of the British Raj entwined from his birth at Cawnpore in 1832 [modern day Kanpur] son of General Abraham Roberts, until he left India in 1895. Only a scant six years of service experience could not prepare the future Field Marshal for the irruption of the Indian Mutiny in 1857, in which he was conspicuous for his bravery and won his V.C.. Almost half of his autobiography is given over to the actions that he was involved in during the Sepoy Revolt; such as the siege of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow. He served in the second Anglo-Afghan War with distinction and received the thanks of Parliament; and commanded the punitive expedition to Kandahar in 1879 winning the decisive battle of Kandahar in September 1880. By this time he was a pillar of the British Empire and one of its foremost generals, and served on with distinction for many years in the sub-continent. An excellent, well-written memoir of a legend of the British Empire.
