A review by stevenyenzer
Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill by Candice Millard

3.0

Fun, light history from Candice Millard, whose account of the assassination of James A. Garfield I liked a bit better. Hero of the Republic is nonetheless a well-told, exciting story with lots of nice historical candy tossed in. I wish it had been a bit longer and deeper.
