About this ebook

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 Ive 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

Speedicuts adventures in Berlin have given me
an idea for a book.
Bram Stoker

Author

Christopher Joll

After serving time at Oxford University and the RMA Sandhurst, Christopher Joll spent his formative years as an officer in The Life Guards. On leaving the Army, Joll worked first in investment banking, then as an arms salesman before moving into public relations. From his earliest days Joll has written articles, features, short stories and reportage. In addition to the Speedicut books, in 2014, Joll wrote the text for Uniquely British: A Year in the Life of the Household Cavalry, in late 2018 he published The Drum Horse in the Fountain & Other Tales of the Heroes & Rogue in the Guards and in early 2020 he will publish Spoils of War: The Treasures, Trophies & Trivia of the British Empire. Since leaving the Army in 1975, Joll has also been involved in devising and managing major charity fund-raising events including the Household Cavalry Pageant, the Royal Hospital Chelsea Pageant, the acclaimed British Military Tournament, a military tattoo in Hyde Park for the Diamond Jubilee, the Gurkha 200 Pageant, the Waterloo 200 Commemoration at St Paul’s Cathedral, the Shakespeare 400 Gala Concert and The Great War Symphony at the Royal Albert Hall for which he wrote, researched and directed the 60-minute film that accompanied the symphony. In 2019, this led to a commission to write, present and direct five short films for the Museum Prize Trust. When not writing, directing or lifting the lid on the cess pits of British history, Joll publishes a weekly Speedicut podcast and gives lectures at literary festivals, museums, clubs and on cruise ships on topics related to his books and the British Empire. www.christopherjoll.com
