Excellent book.

Military Historical Society

This is a well written biography of an important figure at the high point of the British Empire. The author takes us into Wingate's world, one of service to the Empire tempered by his genuine desire to help the people of the Sudan.

A Remarkably and well researched biography.

Britain at War Magazine

A detailed and well written biography of this eminent Scottish soldier-statesman. As an army cadet he was part of the force that went to relieve Gordon at Khatoum; he later became Governor-General of the Sudan. During the Great War Wingate played a major role in the Arab revolt, made famous by the actions of T.E Lawrence, and then went on to represent the interests of the Egyptians as their High Commissioner at the end of the war. A superb biography.

The Great War, March 2012

The author has gone a long way to readdress the lack of visibility of one of the most important soldiers of the British Empire. Sir Francis Wingate participated in the key Middle East Events ftrom the Dervish uprising in the Sudan, to the destruction of the Ottoman Empire. It is difficult to see how history could have overlooked him.

There is an interesting collection of photographs in a plate section to support the text.
