He caught Winston Churchill.
Now the British Army is on his tail.
Camillo Ricchiardi can't help treating foreign wars like swashbuckling adventures.
If Winston Churchill wasn't in chains, the young reporter may have penned a scathing article about his captor's reckless sojourn with the Boers: underdog farmer-warriors fighting for their independence on African soil. Camillo, an Italian military maverick, seems unfettered in his ego-driven journey to become a household namewreaking havoc behind enemy lines in what's fast becoming Britain's most embarrassing conflict of the nineteenth century.
But Camillo's luck can't last forever. Britain is rewriting the rules of traditional warfare, and the Boers are becoming desperate to maintain their advantage. When tasked to assemble an elite legion of Italians skilled in bridge bombing and guerrilla tactics, Camillo puts his best hand forward. He only serves his bulletin-perusing audiencethose seeking the weekly wish fulfilment they won't forget in three lifetimes. Camillo must quell mutinies, bounty hunts and romantic desires in his thrilling quest to discover his physical and mental limitsat his persistent and ever-nearing peril.
