A review by cseibs
Valiant Gentlemen by Sabina Murray

2.0

I found all three subjects fascinating but I feel they were all under utilized, especially Ward. He is presented merely as a prop and his professional achievements are largely ignored. Their shared time in Africa was focused on such detail that it set false expectations that the rest of the book would be as thorough, but unfortunately much of the remainder was a brief accounting with very little detail, despite the book's length. Perhaps it was too ambitious to try to capture the lives of three people simultaneously in one book.
