THE ROAD TO KHARTOUM: A Life of General Charles Gordon
"But if Gordon was flawless as a legend, those closer to him knew a different side of his personality. Gladstone, who in public referred to Gordon as a hero of heroes, was privately infuriated by his eccentricities and independence. He was a chainsmoker, a heavy drinker, and ever since Lytton Strachey's shocking, debunking portrait in Eminent Victorians, the hint of homosexuality has been attached to Gordon's name. Whereas Gordon once seemed a plaster saint, he appears to us now as something of a maverick. The unflinching courage might today be called neurosis, and even his simple, fundamentalist Christianity now seems to have its darker side. In constructing this full-length, splendidly researched portrait of a many faceted man, Charles Chenevix Trench confronts the central fact of Gordon's career and personality: the unaccountable fascination which he exercised over others."
