a young Churchill collection

Four early works by a young Lt. Winston Churchill, published 1897-1900 and rarely in print since then, about campaigns he witnessed (and took part in). The books:- Malakand Field Force, his first book, about a frontier battle on what is now the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan- River War, about the conflict between Britain and Islamic forces of the Mahdi in the Sudan (Churchill took part in the battle of Omdurman in 1899)- London to Ladysmith, first-person account of his capture and escape during the Boer War- Ian Hamilton's March, about Hamilton's army in that war after the relief of LadysmithLively reading and a collection of material that has been out of print. Worth comparing to later (and more polished) accounts of his early life, especially as these accounts, printed before he was 30, contributed to his election to Parliament and the start of his political career.
