RICHARDS, Alfred Bate

RICHARDS, Alfred Bate
(1820-1876)
   UK editor of the Morning Advertiser and writer. For many years he was active as a propagandist for UK military preparedness, but The Invasion of England (A Possible Tale of Future Times) (1870 chap),published privately, had little impact, and was in any case much inferior to Lt.-Col. Sir George T. CHESNEY's The Battle of Dorking (1871), which effectively founded the future- WAR/ INVASION genre so popular over the next 40 years.
