Sir Winston was intimate- ly familiar with the British possessions of the East. As young officer, he saw action in various campaigns in India and Africa, often combining the role of soldier with that of newspaper cor. respondent and usually pub- lishing his observations and experiences in book form afterwards. In the Sudan during a campaign against the fanatical Dervishes, ho participated in one of Britain's last great cavalry charges.
He also served a brief term, shortly after the turn [of the century, as Under- Secretary in the Colonial Office.

Southern Rhodesia, Ire- land and Egypt achieved self-government in the years shortly preceding the second World War the latter two severing all connections with Britain. The final great wave of nationalism broke. over the once-vast domain in the postwar years. Sir Winston was forced to stand on the sidelines as the Labour government launch ed the policies which brought about the end of British control over India, Burma, Pakistan, Ceylon, Suez and Ithe Sudan,
