I would ask the indulgence of the public - who may regret that the story of Lord Kitchener's life should not have been entrusted to a biographer of experience - for shortcomings which may mar this book.My sincere thanks are due to many friends who have lent me letters and excellent advice; and I am under a special debt of gratitude to Major-General Lord Edward Gleichen and Major- General Sir Frederick Maurice for valuable help in describing operations in Egypt and the Sudan and in the Great War.I would also record my thanks for the facilities offered me by Sir Reginald Brade, the Secretary of the War Office, whose own untiring efforts to lighten Lord Kitchener's labours have been matched by an unswerving loyalty to his memory.
