This is an extensive (although claimed to be "abridged") history of the Second World War from one of its major agents. Churchill's narrative of the dark days of 1940, the tenuous alliance with Stalin in 1941, his close relationship with Franklin Roosevelt, up through the atomic bombs and the postwar tension will hold the reader's interest through all 1016 pages. Sir Winston's writing style is engaging and, at times, surprisingly humorous. Through his eyes, the reader sees the war progress through unexpected developments, discouraging setbacks, thrilling victories, all through very personal experience, both in the theaters of war and in the halls of government. Anyone who is a WWII enthusiast will find this work essential in gaining an understanding of this titanic conflict.
