5.0 out of 5 stars WWII in the eyes of the PM, 4 May 2002

By A Customer

Brilliant!
See the Second World War through the eyes of the greatest wartime leader ever. Recall his thoughts on Britain's 'Finest Hour' and find out about what frightened him during the war. If you are a budding historian or even a professional this is the book for you. Although it is abridged it is still a compelling read.
Read it as a tribute to the great man himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Second World War by Winston Churchill, 21 Feb 2004

By	Mr. D. P. Walters (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is every bit an edge of your seat read, if it were fiction it would be up there with Lord of Rings, in both detail and length!!!

This book guides you through the political and military history from the end of the First World War, which shaped the world of sanctions, trade and political will, right through to the after affects in the 1950’s.

It shows where political judgement at one moment affected the future time and time again. This is interwoven with a detailed examination of the military facts, some tragic, some heroic that are the consequence of them.

The style of Churchill is one of detail and plot, which makes for an easy read, allowing a solid grasp of the plot, as well as an understanding of views of all the main players, through his eyes.

A fantastic read and thoroughly recommended, simply a terrible shame that it is all fact and not fiction!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic !, 3 Feb 2003

By	Dave Brooke (St Albans, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I came to this having already the war diary of Lord Alanbrooke - Churchill's military chief of staff for much of the war - and I initially wondered where this would be Churchill's version of the war with his successes and others mistakes.
How wrong I was, this is history written from a unique viewpoint by someone able to see the events as they unfolded on a grand scale. Others have written in great detail about specific events - this sets them in their place in the greater scheme.
