In this biography of a dashing, brash young Churchill, Celia Sandys reconstructs her celebrated grandfathers adventures as a correspondent and combatant during nine months of the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the last centuryevents that took him from the bivouacs and battle sites of Transvaal to his incarceration as a prisoner of war in Pretoria and ultimately to a bold escape across the border into Mozambique. Using both British and South African sources of testimony, which alternately reveal the dauntless Winston as a courageous ally or foolhardy foe, Sandys recounts the exploits of a Churchill whom history has largely forgotten. With narrative vigor, historical authority, and singular charm, she offers both a fully drawn portrait of the ready adventurer who would become Englands legendary prime minister and an illuminating chronicle of the turbulent events one hundred years ago that defined South Africa for modern times.
Churchill's granddaughter has done an excellent job on this book. I hadn't remembered that Churchill was a journalist, or war correspondent, when he was so young. I have to admit that my knowledge of the Anglo-Boer War was non-existent. The years of the British Empire are a study in political incorrectness, but that doesn't make it dull. She doesn't beat you over the head with didactic justifications, nor condemnations. Very balanced. I found it to be an interesting, attention keeping read.
