In India, Churchill established himself as a national war hero and as an emergent man of letters. He felt the "desire for learning" at age twenty-two, and he gave himself a better education than his peers received from Oxford and Cambridge schoolmasters. He then began to write popular but anonymous war columns for London newspapers. Once he went to the front with the Malakand Field Force, he supplied Londoners with riveting accounts of the battle...
