In this book, Winston Churchill recalls his childhood, school years, his service in the hussars, participation in hostilities in Cuba, on the Indian border and in Egypt, his exploits as a correspondent during the Boer War, capture and escape from captivity , as well as his entry into politics as a Member of Parliament. “My Early Years” not only allows readers to follow the formation of a great personality, but also, as Churchill himself writes, paints a panoramic picture of a bygone era. At the same time, they read like the most exciting adventure novel.
