He worked with the Palestine Exploration Fund and on the survey of Cyprus and gained a reputation as a man who knew the Near East. "In 1884 he acted as an intelligence officer for the relief expedition sent to the Sudan to rescue Charles George Gordon; he continually pressed Wolseley the commander of the expedition to push forward more rapidly. Despite the expedition's failure to save Gordon Kitchener emerged with credit and some fame." He was named sirdar or commander of the Egyptian army in 1892 and instituted needed reforms. Under his leadership Anglo-Egyptian forces defeated the Mahdist armies in the Sudan in 1898 avenging Gordon's death and reconquering the country. Kitchener's administrative talents came to the fore in the South African War where superior transportation and the policy of destroying farms and interning Boer civilians in concentration camps prevailed against the guerrilla tactics of the Boer forces. In his role as secretary of state for war in 1914 his advocacy of preparations for a long and global conflict defined British policy.<br/><br/>A choice item from early in the career of this larger than life and still controversial figure. unknown books

188121181921881. London: Edward Stanford. 1881. Large colour-lithographic folding map 158 by 94cm dissected into 30 segments linen-backed and folding back into the original cloth-covered slip-case with printed label on the front; apart from light rubbing to front cover in excellent condition.A wonderful copy of this Special Edition of the 'reduced' version of Conder & Kitchener's huge Map of Western Palestine which consists of 26 sheets and is ordinarily found bound in atlas format. The present example of the map is heavily revised to illustrate the drainage of the Mountain Ranges in the eastern part of the map by Trelawney Sanders. Sanders produced several adaptations of this map one of which included ancient geographical information. This version of the map is particularly poignant because of the linkage between water resources food production and settlement location at the time of publication.Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener 1st Earl Kitchener was an Irish-born British Field Marshal and proconsul who won fame for his imperial campaigns and later played a central role in the early part of the First World War although he died halfway through it. In 1874 at age 24 Kitchener was assigned by the Palestine Exploration Fund to a mapping-survey of the Holy Land replacing Charles Tyrwhitt-Drake who had died of malaria. Kitchener then an officer in the Royal Engineers joined fellow Royal Engineer Claude R. Conder and between 1874 and 1877 they surveyed what is today Israel the West Bank and Gaza. They returned to England only briefly in 1875 after an attack by locals in the Galilee at Safed. hardcover

Conder received the thanks of the committee and the commendation of the Secretary of State for war. "It may fairly be claimed" wrote Sir Walter Besant "That nothing has ever been done for the illustration and right understanding of the historical portions of the Old and New Testaments since the translation into the vulgar tongue which can be compare with this great work." Kitchener later Field Marshal joined the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1874 beginning his involvement with the East which was to last almost for the remainder of his life.<br /> <br /> "These 'Memoirs' were drawn up from notes in the field by Lieutenants Conder and Kitchener. They are divided into 'Sheets' corresponding with the divisions of the Great Map of Western Palestine in twenty-six sheets on the scale of one inch a mile. The method pursued in the division and sub-division of the Memoirs was adopted in accordance with the recommendations of a sub-committee appointed for the purpose of considering the best mode of presenting the information in their hands."
