Baden-Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero is the definitive biography of Robert Baden-Powell – a British general, adventurer, artist, writer, and the founder of the global Scout movement. Born in 1857, Baden-Powell joined the British Army at the age of 19 and served in various regions such as India, Africa, and the Mediterranean. His military career reached its peak during the Siege of Mafeking (1899-1900) in the Boer War, where his successful defense made him one of the most popular generals in Britain. In 1907, he transformed a book meant for cavalry scouts into Scouting for Boys, sparking a worldwide interest among young people that has impacted the lives of over half a billion boys and girls.
Written by William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt with the assistance of Lady Baden-Powell, Baden-Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero is the first comprehensive and scholarly biography of Lord Baden-Powell. Hillcourt, known as the most prolific author of Scout literature in history, had a close relationship with Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. This meticulously researched and extensively footnoted book provides a captivating insight into the life of one of the most fascinating figures of his era and the most successful youth leader of all time.
