CHARLES WARREN Royal Engineer in the Age of Empire

摘要

THE life of Charles Warren Royal Engineer is a compelling story, full of action, conflict, triumph and disaster, with reputations gained and lost. Warren was born into the Victorian era that saw the British Empire reach its zenith. Shellington's biography comes at a time when society has started to challenge the morality of this, which he acknowledges but makes the valid point that Warren, as a young child, would have known no other reality.
