THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Winston Churchill
This work is Churchill's personal and historical account of the Second World War. It spans six volumes and covers the period from the end of the First World War to July 1945. Churchill provides a detailed narrative of the events leading up to and during the war, drawing from his own experiences as a high-ranking government official and his access to official documents. The series includes volumes such as 'The Gathering Storm', 'Their Finest Hour', 'The Hinge of Fate', 'The Grand Alliance', 'Closing the Ring', and 'Triumph and Tragedy'. Churchill's work is notable for its personal perspective and its emphasis on the British war effort, although it also touches on other theatres of the war. The books are considered a seminal and iconic part of the historical record of World War II[2][4][5].
