About the Author Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was prime minister of Great Britain during World War I. Throughout his long and distinguished political career, his writing was prolific. Churchill received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. Frederick Davidson is a published author and a narrator of children's books and young adult books. Some of the published credits of Frederick Davidson include The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot, The Life of Thomas More (Anne of Green Gables Novels (Audio)), The Wisdom of Father Brown. Product Description One of the classic volumes of autobiography, My Early Life is a lively and colourful account of a young man's quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan—where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account—and finally in South Africa. Taken prisoner by the Boers, Churchill makes a daring escape. Back home he embarks on the political career that is to make him one of Britain's most distinguished parliamentarians. First published in 1930, when Churchill's most testing time still lay ahead of him, My Early Life is memorable both as an adventure-story and as an account of the events and influences that helped to shape the career of a great Englishman.
