In addition to his enduring fame as a statesman, Winston Churchill was a Nobel Prize-winning author whose military histories offer the unique perspective of a participant in world affairs. London to Ladysmith and Ian Hamilton's March reflect his early career as a Boer War correspondent for London's Morning Post in 1899 and 1900. London to Ladysmith chronicles the Boer War's first five months, from the author's arrival in South Africa to his capture during a Boer ambush of an armored train. Churchill's gripping narrative of his escape from a prisoner-of-war camp traces a grueling journey across enemy territory and back to British lines. Ian Hamilton's March picks up the action immediately afterward, documenting the eponymous general's 400-mile advance from Bloemfontein to Pretoria. The march saw ten major battles and numerous skirmishes, culminating in the release of prisoners from the camp where Churchill himself was held. Written mostly in the field, this book offers a vivid, personal account of the conditions under which the Boer War was fought, as well as a fascinating look at the formative years of one of the twentieth century's preeminent leaders.

On October 11th,1899 long-simmering tensions between Britain and the Boer Republics - the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic - finally erupted into the conflict that would become known as the Second Boer War. Two days after the first shots were fired, a young writer by the name of Winston Churchill set out for South Africa to cover the conflict for the Morning Post. The Boer War brings together the two collections of despatches that Churchill published on the conflict. London to Ladysmith recounts the future Prime Minister's arrival in South Africa and his subsequent capture by and dramatic escape from the Boers, the adventure that first brought the name of Winston Churchill to public attention. Ian Hamilton's March collects Churchill's later despatches as he marched alongside a column of the main British army from Bloemfontein to Pretoria. Published together, these books are a vivid eye-witness account of a landmark period in British Imperial History and an insightful chronicle of a formative experience by Britain's greatest war-time leader.

The dramatic follow-up to Winston Churchill's wildly successful book, "London to Ladysmith via Pretoria," this volume details the second part of the famous British leader's Second Anglo-Boer War experiences. In this book, Churchill continues his personal narrative-as a correspondent for the Morning Post newspaper-of the second stage of the war, that which took up the first half of the year 1900. Having successfully defended Natal and the Cape Colony against the initial Boer invasion, the British forces then turned the tables and invaded the two Boer republics. Churchill's account closely follows the major part of that invasion force, led by General Ian Hamilton-hence the book's title-and the 400 mile route march by that 11,000-strong army over a period of 55 days from April to June 1900. Along the way, Churchill witnessed in person no less than seven major battles-including those at Israel's Poorte, Houtnek, Welkom, Sand River, Lindley, Doornkop (Florida), Six Mile Spruit, and Diamond Hill. In addition, he provides an account of a further 18 skirmishes, and the occupation of eight towns, including Thabanchu, Winburg, Ventersburg, Kroonstadt, Lindley, Heilbron, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. Along the way-and in typical Churchillian fashion-he describes how he was nearly captured for a second time by Boers, how he was the very first Englishman to enter Johannesburg (disguised a s civilian on a bicycle) among many other fascinating incidents. This new edition has been completely reset, contains all the original maps and illustrations, and has an additional 62 new footnotes which provide background details of personalities, events, and places for the present-day reader. It has also been fully indexed for the first time.

A fascinating piece of first-person reporting from the British statesman’s early years as a war correspondent in South Africa. As a young, ambitious soldier, Winston S. Churchill managed to get himself posted to the 21st Lancers in 1899 as a war correspondent for the Morning Post—and joined them in fighting the rebel Boer settlers in South Africa. In this conflict, rebel forces in the Transvaal and Orange Free State had proclaimed their own statehood, calling it the Boer Republic. This book consists of two separate works in one volume, “London to Ladysmith via Pretoria” and “Ian Hamilton’s March.” In the former, Churchill is captured in Pretoria not long after he arrives to join the British forces—and is frustrated not by the conditions in the prison, but by the fact that he was missing the action. Churchill tells the story of how he escaped and made a daring overland crossing, traveling only at night to avoid detection. Recounting Churchill’s own adventures and observations during the conflict, this book is fascinating for both its historical and personal perspective. “We never think of Churchill as a reporter. That is our loss . . . His dispatches from the 1899-1902 Boer War in South Africa to the London Morning Post . . . sizzle with energy and daring.” —The Washington Times
