The Gathering Storm

Book • 1948
This book is a detailed account of the events leading up to World War II, written from Churchill's personal perspective.

It includes the aftermath of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, and the British response to these developments.

Churchill incorporates primary source materials such as memos, letters, orders, speeches, and telegrams to provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative.

The book ends with Germany's invasion of Norway and the beginning of its invasion of France, marking the transition of Churchill from the opposition to becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom[2][4][5].
