Churchill's South Africa: Travels during the Anglo-Boer war by Chris Schoeman covers the future statesman's travels across the Great Karoo and through the green hills of Natal, his capture by the Boers, his escape to Delagoa Bay and his triumphant return to the Natal front as an officer in the SA Light Horse. It recreates the drama of the Battle of Spioen Kop and the Relief of Ladysmith, and describes Churchill s experiences during the British advance through the Free State and the Transvaal, before returning to England as a Boer War hero.
