Synopsis

Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of England during some of the most important moments in history. In 1953 Churchill won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Written in 1898 this book was the first non-fiction book written by Churchill. The book details the military campaign in what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan. Churchill was a second Lieutenant. The British moved into the mountain to fight a punitive campaign, because of the malicious raids on the villages in India. By being a part of the military forces in this campaign Churchill gained the strategic knowledge he would later need in World War 1.

Présentation de l'éditeur

On general grounds I deprecate prefaces. I have always thought that if an author cannot make friends with the reader and explain his objects in two or three hundred pages he is not likely to do so in fifty lines. And yet the temptation of speaking a few words behind the scenes as it were is so strong that few writers are able to resist it. I shall not try.
