National Army Museum historian Robert Fleming explores the maneuvering, espionage, and intelligence that took place behind the scenes of the British Empire and the extraordinary men and women who were involved in it. The creation and maintenance of an empire required powerful armed forces, but, away from the battlefield a constant political game was also being played, one that was just as important to maintaining imperial power. The author follows the stories of the courageous men and women who often played a double role as soldiers, scholars, archaeologists, and travelers while also being involved in espionage, intrigue, and diplomacy. From Colin Campbell, Augustus Pitt Rivers, and Flinders Petrie to Thomas (T.E. Lawrence) and Gertrude Bell, they all played a part in the extraordinary intrigue of science, humanities, politics, espionage, and diplomacy that helped to maintain an empire. As the book shows, they were also the inspiration behind the action heroes such as Alain Quatermain, Indiana Jones, and James Bond.
