Baden-Powell by Tim Jeal

Inspired soldier, actor, artist, hoaxer, spy, sportsman and female impersonator, Baden-Powell also invented the Boy Scouts. With access to a range of previously undiscovered private papers, the author strips away the public mask, revealing a man whose talents co-existed with crippling secret fears.
Tim Jeal is also the biographer of Henry Morton Stanley (National Book Critics' Circle Award in Biography and Sunday Times Biography of the Year 2007), and Robert Baden-Powell, which (like Livingstone) was chosen as a Notable Book of the Year by the New York Times and the Washington Post. In 2011 his Explorers of the Nile was a New York Times Editor's Choice and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.
