About the Author:
William Alexander Gerhardie was born in St Petersburg, Russia, in 1895. As a young man he went to London and, when the First World War broke out, joined the army. He was first sent to Russia and later travelled the world before beginning to write. Futility (1922), his first novel, was sponsored by Katherine Mansfield, and other notable works of his include The Polyglots (1925) and Of Mortal Love (1936). Gerhardie's writing was acclaimed as an influence on many of his peers, including Anthony Powell, H. G. Wells, Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene and Olivia Manning. He died in London in 1977.
From Publishers Weekly:
To English historian and novelist Gerhardie (1895-1977), history is defined by a battle between self-interest and spiritual love; he offers witty, idiosyncratic profiles of Tolstoy, Woodrow Wilson, Hitler, Lenin and Shaw, among others.
