\"Hero<\/a>Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill<\/a> by Candice Millard<\/a>
\nMy rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hero of the Empire”<\/a> was an immensely enjoyable book!<\/p>\n

Candice Millard, to my knowledge, and as of this writing, has authored three books. They are: “The River of Doubt,” “Destiny of the Republic,” and “Hero of the Empire.” With the conclusion of “Hero, ” I’ve now read all three.<\/a><\/p>\n

Any of these three books would make a cracking good movie! “Hero of the Empire,” especially, would make a fabulous film! Simply because, Candice Millard writes as if you are watching a movie. I felt I was on the battlefields, in the confined spaces during Churchill’s escape, and on the veld (grassland) itself.<\/p>\n

“Hero of the Empire” is a real page turner. Not only did I learn quite a bit about Sir Winston Churchill, I also received a brief education about South Africa.<\/p>\n

An especially wonderful summer read (or any time of the year)!<\/p>\n
