Host Dennis Leap continues discussing Part 2: Into Africa, Chapter 5: “Send Her Victorious.” Winston was not overly worried that he was traveling to a war in South Africa. He saw himself as a confident, well-to-do journalist being paid well to report on the early phase of the Boer War. Winston traveled in the lavish style of a British aristocrat, taking a valet with him. Even though seasick, he shows himself a politician by talking over the Boer War with General Buller, who is also on the ship. Winston’s view is that the British are not serious enough to fight the Boers.
