What is The fighting nation : Lord Kitchener and his armies about?

Kitchener, having dutifully accepted the War Ministry for a period of three years or the duration of the war, made the unsurprising discovery that he had inherited neither army nor the means of creating one. Yet having called, in the first instance, for 100,000 volunteers, he got by the time of his death over 3,000,000. Major A.J. Smithers, author of a number of highly regarded works of military history, assesses with his usual acute perception the remarkable contribution made by Kitchener to the defence of his country, an aspect of his career not often given its due weight in the numerous more conventional biographies that have appeared over the years.
