He was to write all his life. His "Life of Marlborough" is one of the great English biographies, and "The History of the Second World War" helped win him a Nobel Prize for literature. Writing, however, never fully engaged his energies. Politics consumed him. His father Lord Randolph Churchill (伦道夫•丘吉尔勋爵)was a brilliant political failure. Early in life, Winston determined to succeed where his father had failed. His motives were twofold. His father had despised him. Writing in August 1893 to Winston's grandmother, the dowager Duchess of Marlborough, he said the boy lacked "cleverness, knowledge and any capacity for settled work. He has a great talent for show-off, exaggeration and make-believe." His disapproval surely stung, but Churchill reacted by venerating his father's memory.

by John Keegan
Churchill came of a military dynasty. His ancestor John Churchill had been created first Duke of Marlborough(马尔巴罗公爵) in 1702 for his victories against Louis XIV(路易十四)early in the War of the Spanish Succession.(西班牙王位继承战争)Churchill was born in 1874 in Blenheim Palace(布尼姆宫), the house built by the nation for Marlborough. As a young man of undistinguished academic accomplishment--he was admitted to Sandhurst(桑赫斯特 皇家军事学校)after two failed attempts--he entered the army as a cavalry officer. He took enthusiastically to soldiering (and perhaps even more enthusiastically to regimental polo playing) and between 1895 and 1898 managed to see three campaigns: Spain's struggle in Cuba in 1895, the North-West Frontier campaign in India 1897 and the Sudan campaign of 1898, where he took part in what is often described as the British Army's last cavalry charge, at Omdurman.

In Cuba he was present as a war correspondent, and in India and the Sudan he was present both as a war correspondent and as a serving officer. Thus he revealed two other aspects of his character: a literary bent and an interest in public affairs.
