By roving journalist and author of "Through Savage Europe" (an account of his journeys through the Balkans). Having read Kennan's account of the labour camps, Harry De Windt gives his rather less critical view. "Captain Harry Willes Darell de Windt (9 April 1856, Paris - 30 November 1933, Bournemouth) was the aide-de-camp to his brother-in-law Charles Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak (Harry's sister Margaret was Brooke's wife), and is best known as an explorer and travel writer. His books were published under the name of Harry de Windt." Wiki
