On October 11th, 1899 long-simmering tensions between Britain and
the Boer Republics - the Orange Free State and the Transvaal
Republic - finally erupted into the conflict that would become
known as the Second Boer War. Two days after the first shots were
fired, a young writer by the name of Winston Churchill set out for
South Africa to cover the conflict for the Morning Post. The Boer
War brings together the two collections of despatches that
Churchill published on the conflict. London to Ladysmith recounts
the future Prime Minister's arrival in South Africa and his
subsequent capture by and dramatic escape from the Boers, the
adventure that first brought the name of Winston Churchill to
public attention. Ian Hamilton's March collects Churchill's later
despatches as he marched alongside a column of the main British
army from Bloemfontein to Pretoria. Published together, these books
are a vivid eye-witness account of a landmark period in British
Imperial History and an insightful chronicle of a formative
experience by Britain's greatest war-time leader.
