Winston Churchill reporting

Long before his finest hour as Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill emerged on the world stage as a brazen foreign correspondent, covering wars of empire in Cuba, India's Northwest Frontier, the Sudan, and South Africa. Just as likely to take part in active combat as he was to report on it, Churchill thought little of his own personal safety when he joined the fray. Reporting and fighting between 1895 and 1900, Churchill mastered his command of language, forged his character, and established his reputation for courage and tenacity under fire.
