LESSON IN HISTORY: British author Adrian Fort
...
An important new biography of the man, Archibald Wavell: The Life and Death of the Imperial Servant, is being written by Adrian Fort, a British author who won the Biographers' Club prize in 2001 for a book on Winston Churchill's close friend, Frederick Lindemann, Viscount Cherwell.
...
Fort was educated at Oxford where he is a Clarendon Fellow.

In the spirit of true inquiry and anxious that his Wavell biography should not be British-centric, he would welcome advice and suggestions from people in India for the book, which is also being published by Jonathan Cape in London.

Fort feels Wavell's period in India has not previously received adequate attention from scholars.He will look at Wavell's relationship with Jinnah, Gandhi and Nehru and any others that he is persuaded are important.

"I want to do no more than 1,20,000 words - it's not a cradle to the grave book - but encompassing his time in India," says Fort.
