About This Novel

The 24-year-old Churchill was convinced that it was his destiny to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but at this time he suffered a defeat in the election. He believes that to achieve goals, one must make a difference on the battlefield, and military medals are the safest and fastest way to win recognition and success. In 1899, Churchill arrived in South Africa, where he participated in the Boer War (a war between the British and the Boers for the South African colony). However, two weeks later, Churchill became a prisoner of war and was locked up in a prisoner of war camp in Pretoria. What follows is an astonishingly brave escape.
