Lord Roberts

Description:

This book was written in response to an advertisement in the Times by which Lord Roberts' daughter sought the help of an up-and-coming writer to write his biography. David James responded and, with support from (later, Sir) Arthur Bryant, was selected. Details of the work involved over two years may be found in "One Man in his Time", by John Robson.
