The Boer War

These despatches sent to the "Morning Post" from the the war front in 1899 were originally published in book form as "London to Ladysmith via Pretoria" and Ian Hamilton's March" under the title "The Boer War". In both books Churchill adopts a personal approach and recounts his own experiences set against the background of the Boer War, rather than attempting to give a picture of the war as a whole.
