About this listen
One of the classic volumes of autobiography, My Early Life is a lively and colourful account of a young man's quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.
Taken prisoner by the Boers, Churchill makes a daring escape. Back home he embarks on the political career that is to make him one of Britain's most distinguished parliamentarians.
First published in 1930, when Churchill's most testing time still lay ahead of him, My Early Life is memorable both as an adventure-story and as an account of the events and influences that helped to shape the career of a great Englishman.

Fantastic Churchill autobiography!
This is one of the best books I have ever listened to. Superbly narrated, riveting and hilarious. Transports you to WCs early years .
Highly recommended!

From being not a fan of Winston being what I thought a hard done by Australian during WW2 U am coming to like him the more I read of him.

Entertaining
I only knew of WSC as the “British Bulldog” later in his life.
These British Aristocrats of the Victorian era were a different breed to what is running the West these days. Talk about civilisation collapse and it all started in his lifetime

Returning because its boring
What did you like best about My Early Life? What did you like least?
The early parts were interesting but his life of training for war is so far removed from today that I found it difficult to understand.
Would you ever listen to anything by Winston Churchill again?
No
Have you listened to any of Frederick Davidson’s other performances? How does this one compare?
He is very very good. Sounds like he could have been Churchil himself.
Could you see My Early Life being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No way
Any additional comments?
Am returning cause its boring after tgd beginning.
