Ignatius Valentine Chirol byl britský novinář a historik známý svým vášnivým imperialismem. Jeho díla se často zaměřovala na vnímané hrozby pro Britské impérium, zejména z německé a muslimské strany. Díky svému vzdělání v cizích jazycích a diplomatickým zkušenostem Chirol cestoval a zkoumal mezinárodní vztahy. Jeho raná práce po cestách po Balkáně, "Twixt Greek and Turk", odráží jeho zájem o geopolitiku a historické konflikty.
