This eBook edition of "The Birth of Britain" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.The Birth of Britain covers the period of the history of Britain from Caesars invasions of Britain to the end of the feudal age.Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman, army officer, and writer, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. In addition to his careers of soldier and politician, Winston Churchill was a prolific writer. He started as a war journalist on Cuba and continued in British India, then in the Sudan during the Mahdist War and in southern Africa during the Second Boer War. Churchill received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953.
The first twenty-five years of Churchills life were full of adventure: night marches, cavalry charges, skirmishes on the North West Frontier, escape from a Boer prisoncamp and a visit to the Cuban War. Acknowledged as his best book, his zest for life bursts right off the page of My Early Life. Yet this is more than just an adventure story. It is an elegiac portrayal of the halcyon period of Edwardian content before the First World War, and deeply revealing of one of the dominating personalities of the twentieth century. Here lie the roots of that restless, questing energy and dauntless ambition, born of absent parents and miserable schooling.
