Description

Book 2 of The Speedicut Papers continues the first hand account of the life, loves and adventures of Jasper Speedicut: charmer, sexual libertine and reluctant hero. It is also a unique account of events in the British Empire and beyond, comprising a series of linked adventures and anecdotes which, when taken together, comprise a fascinating insight into many of the half-remembered or wholly-forgotten events of the second half of the 19th century. "It is a matter of considerable regret to me that The Speedicut Papers were not available to me when I wrote my History of the English Speaking Peoples." Sir Winston Churchill "This book contains the only lucid explanation of the Schleswig-Holstein question ... to which I've completely forgotten the answer." Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston "I was delighted to discover that, like me, Speedicut has committed every sin in the Decalogue." Sir Richard Burton "Having read this remarkable narrative I would swim the Hellespont to meet the man who wrote it." George, 6th Baron Byron "Speedicut's adventures in Berlin have given me an idea for a book." Bram Stoker
