This timely book fills a lacuna in the extensive literature on
Churchill's life and times. It covers his long relationship with
Africa during the most important period in Anglo-African history,
from nineteenth-century imperial rule to independence and the
emergence of modern Africa. Churchill first went to Africa during
the British re-conquest of Sudan in 1898 and would spend almost the
next sixty years dealing with Africa as soldier, journalist,
government minister, and finally prime minister. Churchill's story
is one of transition from the height of late-Victorian British
imperialism to the acceptance of African nationalism in the middle
years of the twentieth century. He helped to shape British colonial
policy in Africa from the first decade of the twentieth century
through the Second World War and colonial Kenya's Mau Mau crisis of
the 1950s. Few British leaders were as closely involved with Africa
as was Churchill.
