The Fighting Nation: Lord Kitchener and His Armies

by A.J. Smithers

Tells the story of Kitchener who dutifully accepted the War Ministry for a period of three years and made the unsurprising discovery that he had inherited neither an army nor the means of creating one. Yet having called for 100,000 volunteers, he got by the time of his death over 3,000,000.
