Summary: This is Churchill's history of the epic struggle that was so indelibly stamped by his leadership. Seldom, if ever, has history endowed such a statesman with both singular ability to make history, and singular ability to write it. Churchill's eloquence and insight frames the world-defining events of his time in truly enduring prose. This twelve-volume epic has been called "indispensable reading for anyone who seeks a true understanding of the war that made us what we are today."
