Autorenporträt
Arthur George Frederick Griffiths was born on December 9, 1838, in Pune. He came from a background that combined military tradition and intellectual pursuit, which strongly influenced the course of his life and career. Over time, he became widely recognized not only as a British military officer but also as a prison administrator and a prolific author. His career in the military provided firsthand experience that enriched his historical and analytical writing. Griffiths was especially known for his extensive documentation of 19th-century conflicts, providing detailed and critical perspectives on major military campaigns of the period. His position as a military correspondent for The Times allowed him to observe and interpret key events with authority and clarity. Beyond battlefield history, his work as a prison inspector informed his publications on criminal justice and prison reform, reflecting a broader engagement with institutional systems. He died on March 24, 1908, in Beaulieu, United Kingdom. Through his dual focus on military history and institutional life, he left behind a comprehensive body of work that captured the structures shaping society in his time.
