Winston S. Churchill: War Correspondent, 1895-1900."
Dispatches written on various battlefields from Cuba to the Sudan reveal the talented writing of Winston S. Churchill as he made a name for himself as a war correspondent in the last years of the nineteenth century.
Often written in the forefront of action, these wartime dispatches of Winston Churchill display the succinct and often humorous style that made him a household name and a journalist respected in parliamentary circles.
The reports cover Cuba (1895), the North-West Frontier of India (1897), the Sudan (1898) and South Africa (1899-1900). Churchill's stinging attacks on the Cabinet, the Indian Government and the commanders he served under, ended his chances of a prestigious staff appointment. His accounts of the Boer War were highly controversial at the time and include the story of capture by and escape from the Boers.
