Hero of the Empire

the Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill

This is another Candice Millard excellent book. It is about a young Winston Churchill and his experiences in South Africa during the Boer War. Her research is well done. I particularly like her writing style. As in her other books, River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic, they read like a novel rather than non-fiction. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that the Boer War didn't stir me as much as the settings in her previous books.
