'To what extent did Lord Raglan 3rd's military training equip him to become Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man?'
Date(s): April 2013
Creator(s): Wood, Kevin P.
Scope & Content: Illustrated MA dissertation in which the author considers life before Raglan, his birthright, schooling, Sandhurst and beyond as well as Raglan in the Isle of Man and in retrospect. Wood sets out to review Raglan's 'man management' of fifty thousand people during the First World War and recognises his thesis is essentially a study of leadership. His preface includes the assertion, 'The prime consequence of Raglan's 'management' was political turmoil and considerable angst within a small Island community. This is a study that lays bare self interest, patronage and conflict - not factors that many will find appealing.'
