Product Description

1st, edition, Ex-library. Very scarce book.

The life of Brigadier Bruce was that of the quintessential British explorer. From Wikipedia: “He had perpetual good humour, enthusiasm, and love of alcohol, coupled with competence and shrewdness. He was a superb raconteur, and a fund of bawdy stories. Younghusband described him as"an extraordinary mixture of man and boy..... you never know which of them you are talking to".
