Churchill Wanted Dead or Alive - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
In this biography of a dashing, brash young Churchill, Celia Sandys reconstructs her celebrated grandfather's adventures as a correspondent and combatant during nine months of the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the last century—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 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 England's legendary prime minister and an illuminating chronicle of the turbulent events one hundred years ago that defined South Africa for modern times.

(Subject: Political & Biographies - Churchill Collection) Churchill was a war correspondent for the Morning Post during the Boer War. Two weeks after his arrival in Cape Town whilst on board an armoured train in enemy occupied territory, he was ambushed and taken as a prisoner of war to Pretoria. He made a daring escape and was spirited across the border in a goods wagon to Lourenco Marques. From there he returned to the fray taking part in the Battle of Spion Kop and witnessing the relief of Ladysmith. A century later his grandaughter, Celia Sandys, followed in his footsteps.
