Visionary empire-builder, ultimate Kipling hero, the carrier -- for England -- of "the white man's burden," Rhodes in his time was revered in England. Who else had a huge country named after him? His life-long dream was the world federation of states, cessation of wars and world government, under British rule. In the perspective of the turbulent century that passed since, he appears a giant with toppled dreams. This is his story.

Cecil Rhodes
A very readable account of the lifting of the siege of the town of Ladysmith, in South Africa, during the (second) Boer war of 1899-1902. This is more commonly known as the Relief of Ladysmith. During this period of time Winston was a war correspondent for the Morning Post. His reports from the battlefield form the basis of this book. It also includes a full and graphic description of Winston's capture by the Boers, and his subsequent escape and flight to freedom.
Churchill's own words give some clues as to his stubbornness, and his appreciation of the strategic implications, so much in evidence during his tenure as Great Britain's WW2 Prime Minister.
