Alexander (1879-1957), was a journalist stationed in Egypt when the US joined the Great War. He was commissioned into military intellegence until injured. After the war he left the army and journalism continuing his adventurer career in earnest, traveling the world and writing some 20 books. His Imperialistic idealism is conveyed clearly, but his 'pages are full of sheer fascination as he tells of lands and peoples' as well. Good resource for African history. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
