Over
a
century
ago,
a
young
cavalry
lieutenant
wrote
a
riveting
account
of
what
he
saw
during
his
first
major
campaign,
a
vicious
war
against
tribal
insurgents
on
the
North-West
Frontier.
Winston
Churchill's
The
Story
of
the
Malakand
Field
Force,
published
in
1898,
made
his
reputation
as
a
writer
-
and
as
a
soldier.
More
than
120
years
later
it
is
still
required
reading
for
military
commanders
on
the
ground,
both
British
and
American.Now,
acclaimed
author
and
foreign
correspondent
Con
Coughlin
tells
the
story
of
that
campaign,
combining
colourful
historical
narrative,
interviews
with
contemporary
key
players
and
the
journalist's
eye
for
both
a
good
story
and
deep
analysis.
Churchill's
First
War
is
not
only
a
dramatic
and
vivid
piece
of
military
history
but
affords
us
a
rare
insight
into
both
the
nineteenth-century
'Great
Game'
and
the
twenty-first
century
conflict
that
has
now
raged
longer
than
the
Second
World
War
and
taken
more
lives
than
the
Falklands.'Incisive
and
deliciously
readable'
