Baden-Powell is a 1989 biography of Robert Baden-Powell by Tim Jeal. Tim Jeal's work, researched over five years, was first published by Hutchinson in the UK and Yale University Press and others in other countries. It was well-reviewed by the New York Times, [cite web | url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE5D6103FF932A35757C0A966958260|title=New York Times review] the Washington Post and other publications of record. As James Casada writes in his review for Library Journal, it is "a balanced, definitive assessment which so far transcends previous treatments as to make them almost meaningless."
