The Face of Battle, John Keegan The Mask of Command, John Keegan The Second World War, John Keegan Reviews and Commentary >From Library Journal: Rhodes Scholar: Most people have heard the term, but probably few know the history behind it. Schaeper (France and America During the Revolutionary Era, Berghan, 1995), an LJ reviewer, and Kathleen Schaeper provide readers with a detailed account of the award, beginning with Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902), who felt he could best change the world by establishing scholarships to Oxford for students from all parts of the British Empire and from the United States and Germany. Recipients were to be "all-round men, studious but also fond of outdoor sports...chosen on the basis of moral character and leadership potential." The Schaepers focus primarily on American Rhodes Scholars, how they were affected by their years at Oxford, and what effect their presence had at the uni versity. They also show why Rhodes Scholars have an elite reputation and how accurate (or not) that conception is. Entertaining and informative reading for the general reader, this title is recommended for most public and academic libraries.--Terry A.
