The first in a five-volume set of essential listening that examines the causes of the Great War.
This, the first in Sir Winston Churchill's five-volume history examining the events and context leading up to the outbreak of World War I from a true insider's point of view, is unsurpassed as both a historical and personal account of the earth-shaking events leading up to The Great War.
Churchill's epic series begins in 1911, when Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty, and opens with a chilling description of the Agadir Crisis and an in-depth account of naval clashes in the Dardanelles - one of Churchill's major military failures. It takes listeners from the fierce bloodshed of the Gallipoli campaign to the tragic sinking of the Lusitania and the tide-turning battles of Jutland and Verdun - as well as the USA's entry into the combat theater.
Written in powerful prose by a great leader who would also go on to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature, and based on thousands of his own personal letters and memos, The World Crisis provides a perspective you won't find anywhere else: a dynamic insider's account of events that would shape the outcome of modern history.

The access to letters and memoranda of the decision makers is priceless in distilling the why. Overall this is an amazing body of work.
Disregard comments about the narrator being American. Idiotic argument and pointless. This is not a story time book being read to you by WSC himself. The information is authentic. The narrator is expert at his tradecraft. His meter and modulation, especially during the reading of letters is outstanding.
The people who think the narrator must have an accent that matches the author are goobers. Would they not read / listen to Tolstoy if they could not read Russian or listen to a Russian accented audio version? Actually, maybe they would not and that illustrates my point.
It’s nice when a narrator can do the accents and multiple characters, but in a book of history if that is your main criticism you are a fan of novels and just don’t know it.
Great book and narration; but, you will not regret it.

This first part is let down by the choice of an American narrator. He is OK as a narrator in general, but completely wrong for a book written substantially in the first person by Winston Churchill!
Happily parts 2 and 3 are narrated by Christian Rodska who manages to capture the majesty and emotion of Churchill's prose by sounding very much like Churchill himself.
If anyone is put off by the narration of part 1, don't let that stop you listening to parts two and three: they are excellent!
Great story, the wrong narrator
