From Britian's darkest and finest hour to the great alliance and ultimate victory, the Second World War remains the pivotal event in our century. Churchill was not only its greatest leader, but the free world's most eloquent voice of defiance in the face of Nazi tyranny. His epic account of those times, published in six volumes, won the Nobel Prize in 1953.

    Definitive WWII History

    This is an incredible work. Because of Churchill's absolutely unique position during the war and the period leading up to it, you get perspective that you can't get anywhere else. And because he believed in doing everything in writing rather than communicating verbally, he had all the written archives to put this all together. It's hard reading, and it takes forever (each of the six volumes is between 600-800 pages), but if you want to read the definitive work on WWII, this is it.

    Among Great Works of Western History

    Churchill's first talent was written expression, all his other legendary qualities grew from it. There is no other display of the mistakes made, battles fought, trials endured, and lessons learned from the great conflict. Churchill has made a highly readable evaluation of the war and all of its meaning, making this text indespensible for anyone wishing to understand the world in which we now live.
