520    "Just over a century ago British troops were fighting a 
       vicious frontier war against Pashtun tribeman on the North
       West Frontier--the great-great-grandfathers of the Taliban
       and tribal insurgents in modern-day Afghanistan. Winston 
       Churchill, then a young cavalry lieutenant, wrote a vivid 
       account of what he saw during his first major campaign. 
       The Story of the Malakand Field Force, published in 1898, 
       was Churchill's first book and, a hundred years later, is 
       required reading for military commanders on the ground, 
       both British and American. In Churchill's First War, 
       acclaimed author and foreign correspondent, Con Coughlin 
       tells the story of that campaign, a story of high 
       adventure and imperial success, which contains many 
       lessons and warnings for today. Combining historical 
       narrative, interviews with contemporary key players, and 
       the journalist's eye for great color and analysis, 
       Churchill's First War affords us a rare insight into both 
       the nineteenth-century "Great Game" and the twenty-first-
       century conflict that has raged longer than World War II--
       as well as the twentieth-century man who reunited a war-
       torn world"--|cProvided by publisher.
