Specificatii
"A thrilling account.... This book is an awesome nail-biter and
top-notch character study rolled into one." --New York Times Critic
Jennifer Senior's Top Ten Books of 2016 At the age of twenty-four,
Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to
become prime minister of England. He arrived in South Africa in
1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, to cover the brutal
colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels and
jumpstart his political career. But just two weeks later, Churchill
was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring
escape--traversing 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. Bestselling author Candice Millard spins
an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a
cast of historical characters--including Rudyard Kipling, Lord
Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi--with whom Churchill would later
share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an
extraordinary adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from
the Boer War would profoundly affect twentieth century history.
