This volume of Churchill's history of the Second World War recounts the events of 1941 surrounding America's entry into the War, Hitler's march on Russia, and the alliance between Britain and America.
After the first forty days we were alone, writes Churchill. This edition is part two of Churchill's own abridgement of his original six-volume history of the Second World War.
Please note: This book was originally published in six volumes:
1. The Gathering Storm
2. Their Finest Hour
3. The Grand Alliance
4. The Hinge of Fate
5. Closing the Ring
6. Triumph and Tragedy
Churchill then condensed these into four volumes, which have since been released as one, rather hefty, publication. This is an unabridged recording of Churchill's condensed volume, broken up into four parts, as follows:
1. Milestone to Disaster
2. Alone
3. The Grand Alliance
4. Triumph and Tragedy

"Churchill writes his momentous memoirs with great compassion and in a compelling way. He really guides you through and leaves nothing out which is worth saying. Here we find German driving east and Japan attacking Pearl Harbour. As always, the Prime Minster's Personal Minutes section adds great depth to the book-these being a summary of all communications received during the period covered by the book."
