Product Description
When noted author Rudyard Kipling pulled strings to get his son a commission in the Irish Guards at the beginning of World War I, he little realized he was sending the young man to his doom. Many years after Rudyard Kipling's own death in 1936, and after further decades of historical detective work, John Kipling's grave finally received a proper headstone in 1992.

 Excellent read! January 9, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I admit I did not know much about Rudyard Kipling, but after seeing the film "My Boy Jack" I wanted to learn to more.
This book was so beautifully written, I actually couldn't put the book down and had it read in about 3 days.
I not only learned a great deal about Rudyard but I also learned a great deal about history. Whether you just love to read or love history, I highly recommend this book.
 A Great War Mystery ?? April 12, 2001

Although born in England, I knew very little about Rudyard Kipling. This book covers Kipling's life from childhood thru death and shows how his character influenced his only son into joining the Irish Guards at the beginning of the Great War. His son was killed on his first day in combat and his body never recovered. Now, 77 years later, they think they have found him - or have they ? All the evidence is presented for the reader to decide. A good read.
