From the time, many years ago, when Michael Palin first heard that his grandfather had a brother, Harry, who died in tragic circumstances, he was determined to find out more about him. He dug out every bit of family gossip and correspondence. He studied every available official document. He tracked down what remained of his great-uncle Harry's diaries and letters. He even travelled in his footsteps, from Harry's childhood home in Herefordshire to India and New Zealand and from there to the slaughtering grounds of Gallipoli and the Western Front. Now he has brought years of painstakingly research together to create an utterly compelling account of an ordinary man who led an extraordinary life. A blend of biography, history, travelogue and personal memoir this is Michael Palin at his very finest.
