"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 Collections
