With the 100th anniversary of the Great War fast approaching, this is a timely and well-researched biography.
It tells the story of Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy, a Church of England minister and infantry chaplain who was actually awarded the Military Cross for outstanding courage under fire as he ventured into no-man’s land to help the wounded.
