    Churchill's history of the Second World War is, and will remain, the definitive work. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction.

    Churchill's perspective and his ability to articulate it are engaging and exciting, even when you know the eventual outcomes.

    no


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
