For the information of those who are interested in reading this book, they should be aware that there are several versions out there. The later versions are greatly revised, abridged by up to 1/3, and in many cases the most interesting of his opinions about individuals and policies have been cut out, apparently for political reasons.

You want the 1899 two-volume version.

Thanks for that. I had figured there had to be some editing as Churchill’s writing could be super-detailed which some editors find cumbersome. Considering Churchill was promptly voted out after the war and the present state of England, I am sure most folks over there didn’t want anything to do with the truth in east Africa back in the day let alone Winnie’s opinion!!
