This book details Winston Churchill’s time in South Africa at the turn of the twentieth century, and specifically the events that he once said would “ … lay the foundations of my later life.” After being taken prisoner in 1899 when he was a journalist covering Britain’s colonial war with South Africa’s Boer rebels, Churchill escapes, enlists, comes back to South Africa and frees his once fellow prisoners. These long-ago adventures set the stage for his emergence as one of the towering figures of the twentieth century.
