The Story of the Malakand Field Force An Episode of Frontier War

This book, first published in 1898, recounts an expedition by a British field force to subdue insurrection in a breakaway Indian province. Churchill was a young cavalry officer at that time, temporarily accredited as a war correspondent, largely through the efforts of his mother. The book, Churchill's first, gives promise of the author, war leader and statesman who was to emerge. At a young age he already sparkles with wit, drive, energy and vision. The Churchillian prose, in his beautiful sonorities, is there too. On its release Churchill himself said, "The publication of this book will certainly be the most noteworthy act of my life. By its reputation I shall measure the chances of my possible success in the world."--Publisher.

  • ""Seeking military distinction, the 22-year-old Winston Churchill talked his way into the Malakand Field Force as a war correspondent, reporting on the front line in a struggle against restless frontier tribes. Churchill describes dramatic campaigns, his writing always rooted in the exotic and, at times, adverse environment of the Northwest Frontier, an area now part of Pakistan. This experience of entrenched and increasingly mechanized warfare likely influenced his command during the First World War, when he was better able than most to understand the nature of military stalemate. In this his first book he collected his reports of the conflict, providing a fascinating look at the start of Churchill's career as a writer and as a soldier."--Bloomsbury Publishing."@en
