"Here the author documents the ... risky adventures of Winston Churchill (1874-1965) during the Second Boer War, in which Churchill and his fellow soldiers were captured upon arriving in South Africa. Churchill managed an escape, eventually returning to South Africa to free the men with whom he was imprisoned. ... Millard shows how the hard lessons learned during this period influenced Churchill's character, decision-making, and personality."--Library Journal. 352 pages.
