Churchill’s classic, “The River War” Returns to Print

The book is a portent of what Churchill will become and achieve. It demonstrates two things about him, the first his incessant ambition. Young British officers used every artifice to get sent to a war, any war. Churchill did the same, but when he was emphatically refused, he went anyway and found a job, a fighting job, when he got there. The second thing demonstrated about Churchill in this book is his power to see beyond the battlefield to something more strategic and political: the meaning of the battle to the way of life and the way of government of the peoples involved.
