"Here, for the first time, is the complete uncensored account of Churchill's spectacular escape from a Boer prison in South Africa, his military adventures in India, his amazing experiences with Kitchener in Egypt, his participation in one of the last great cavalry charges, and his adventures and misadventures in London, as when, for example, he kept the Prince of Wales waiting half an hour for dinner."
