Requests:  0 Summary:  "Deliberately putting himself in extreme danger as a British Army officer in colonial wars in India and Sudan, and as a journalist covering a Cuban uprising against the Spanish, glory and fame had eluded Churchill. [He] arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, there to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels. But just two weeks after his arrival, the soldiers he was accompanying on an armored train were ambushed, and Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape--but then had to traverse hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. The story of his escape is incredible enough, but then Churchill enlisted, returned to South Africa, fought in several battles, and ultimately liberated the men with whom he had been imprisoned"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Large Type LT 968.04831 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Large Type LT 968.04831 Mill Checked In Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 968.04831 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Large Type LT 968.04831 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
