À propos de cet audio

The extraordinary story of a young Winston Churchill in the Boer War, as told by his granddaughter.

In this lively biography of a dashing, brash 25-year-old Churchill, Celia Sandys chronicles her celebrated grandfather's adventures as a correspondent and combatant during nine months of the Anglo-Boer War - events 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 reveal the dauntless Winston alternately as a courageous ally or foolhardy foe, Sandys recounts the exploits of a Churchill that history has largely forgotten. With historical authority, narrative vigor, and singular charm, she offers both a fully drawn portrait of the ready adventurer who would become England's legendary prime minister and an illuminating account of the turbulent events that defined South Africa for modern times.

A great story detailing some early highlights in Churchill’s life. Not being very familiar with the Boar war and his rise to fame this is a great introduction to the man and the events that led him to greatness. Written by his granddaughter it provides and inside look at his life from someone who actually knew him. Worth a listen!
