In just five years beginning at age 21, Churchill shot to fame as a cavalry officer and war
correspondent across the globe, from the jungles of Cuba and the mountains of India’s
northwest frontier to the banks of the Nile and the plains of South Africa. Years later, even
while rising to the highest levels of government, he remained one of the best paid writers in the
world, published in leading newspapers and magazines in Britain and America throughout the
1920’s and ‘30’s.
