CHURCHILL, THE BYLINE YEARS
Before politics, Winston Churchill’s early-life adventures turned him into a multimedia star

Speak the name Winston Churchill and you conjure up images of the larger-than-life British war leader, a master of wit and oratory, with his eccentric all-in-one zipper suits and his omnipresent cigars. But the Churchill of 1940 was the product of an already extraordinary life and career. He first burst onto the world scene in the dying years of the 19th century, and it was as a young man that he acquired the power of words and learned how to use his writing to advance his career and his causes and to manage his image and reputation.
From 1895 to 1900 Churchill saw action as a young cavalry officer. He came under fire on his 21st birthday while accompanying Spanish forces in Cuba against local guerrillas; he rode against the Pathans in what is now Afghanistan; he charged with the 21st Lancers against Dervish warriors at the battle of Omdurman in the Sudan; and, having been captured by the Boers in South Africa, he made a daring escape and then rode into liberated Ladysmith with the South African Light Horse Regiment.
