Which was, as noted, over a century ago.
Certain truths really DO stand the test of time, don't they?
It was observed a century or more ago that sharks swim, bats fly and Democrats lie. Equally time-tested and as true today as when first observed.
For those in denial, there remains controversy whether as to whether Churchill first delivered the poignant and timeless message first in a speech while touring after his fact-finding in strange lands or first included it in a book and later quoted from it in the "road show" that produced more income than the book.
In any case, the "where" is not important - it's the content which the left seems yet unable to comprehend. That really is unfortunate as, had it been heeded, so much pain could have been averted - so many heads would still remain attached to bodies.
I have intentionally mis-puctuated a sentence in the above so the fueling on box wine will not go unwasted and some other diversion can be devised to entertain us all. Can you find it?
Whether I might have been right or wrong is unimportant.
It's the content of Churchill's analysis that is important and, obviously you're only trying to obscure that.
Point missed through drunkenness? Stupdity? Or party edict?
I'm aware that I have the abridged version. I'm not sure what your point is.
I've thoroughly immersed myself in years past in his more famous WWII -related works, and I own the River War, but I could never get through it. I know he wrote a biography of the first Marlborough (Churchill) but I never thought to pick it up. Given the recommendation, I guess I'll have to look for it. Thanks.Yay... I got it right, before I added Leo XIII... I've read bits and pieces of his early work, and he is one of those turn-of-the-(last)-century Imperialists that came to mind...I haven't a clue...
But I recognize the verbiage of the era...
H.G. Wells?
Rudyard Kipling?
Samuel Clemens?
Winston Churchill?
Teddy Roosevelt?
It was a 25 year old Winston Churchill, in his 1899 book The River War.
I'm a big fan of the historical works he wrote later in his life - his biography of his ancestor the Duke of Marborough is fascinating and staggeringly comprehensive.

If it's by WSC, I'm sure it is (comprehensive), judging by his other works. And, little known, the fellow had a serviceable sense of humor, as well. I just downloaded the Amazon Prime (Kindle) version of Volume 1 on an Android tablet, although I doubt I'll get through it before the end of the year. Still, off on another adventure.

It's very comprehensive - the four volumes combined are probably 4,000+ pages.
I'm facinating by that period of time, though.
