Hero of the empire: the Boer War, a daring escape, and the making of Winston Churchill

Pushful, the younger. Death by inches ; The graven palm ; The scion ; Blowing the trumpet

Into Africa. "Send her victorious" ; "We have now gone far enough" ; The blackest of all days ; Land of stone and scrub

Chance. The death trap ; A pity and a blunder ; Into the lion's jaws ; Grim sullen death

Prisoners of war. To submit, to obey, to endure ; "I regret to inform you" ; A city of the dead ; Black week ; A scheme of desperate and magnificent audacity ; "I shall go on alone"

In the heart of enemy's country. Toujours de l'audace ; "To take my leave" ; Alone ; "Wie is darr?" ; An invisible enemy ; The light of hope ; The plan ; The red and the blue.
