Excerpt from Lord Kitchener: His Work and His PrestigeWhen he was appointed Commander in-chief of the Egyptian Army, he summoned his new Staff and addressed them in the following words: You have six months in which to learn Arabic. Those who do not know it in that time will have to go. At the end of the six months all his officers spoke the language of the country ¿uently.A strong will, a clear head, and also, it should be said, an uncommon apt ness in judgment, gave him the authority and the prestige which he used at the outbreak of war in making that appeal to England to which the country responded with so huge an impulse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
