Winston Churchill

Covers the problems confronted by Churchill as he becomes Prime Minister, the Battle of France, the story of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and the rebuilding of England's Army.

From uninterrupted defeat to almost unbroken success: a year when Rommel is gradually thrown back in North Africa, and in the Pacific the tide turns.

An account of World War II from 1943 to June 5, 1944 tracing the liberation of France and the slow collapse of Nazi Germany.

"The World Crisis is considered by many to be Winston S. Churchill's literary masterpiece. Published across five volumes between 1923 and 1931, Churchill here tells the story of the Great War, from its origins to the long shadow it cast on the following decades. At once a history and a first hand account of Churchill's own involvement in the war, The World Crisis remains a compelling account of the conflict and its importance."--Back cover.

Churchill's history of the Second World War is, and will remain, the definitive work. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable, for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction. Milestones To Disaster is the first book in Churchill's abridgement of his original six-volume history of the Second World War.
