Description

My Early Life by Winston S Churchill

My Early Life: A Roving Commission. A lively and colourful account of a young man s quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill s schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan–where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account–and finally in South Africa. Taken prisoner by the Boers, Churchill makes a daring escape. Back home he embarks on the political career that is to make him one of Britain s most distinguished parliamentarians. First published in 1930, when Churchill s most testing time still lay ahead of him, My Early Life is memorable both as an adventure-story and as an account of the events and influences that helped to shape the career of a great Englishman.
