Hero of the Empire

Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape and the Making of Winston Churchill by Candice Millard, 2016.

Read in January 2017

A fascinating biography of the early years of Winston Churchill and his attempt to do something spectacular that would bring attention to himself in his quest to get to Parliament and higher public service. 

The covers his time in Africa as a journalist and an Army officer during the Boer War. The book was a good history of the time and this particular man. I did enjoy this book.

I would like to read a biography of his entire life.
