The Second World War is a six-volume historical and political account of World War II written by Winston S. Churchill, combining military history, diplomacy, wartime decision-making, and personal perspective from one of the central Allied leaders of the period. Across The Gathering Storm, Their Finest Hour, The Grand Alliance, The Hinge of Fate, Closing the Ring, and Triumph and Tragedy, the series follows the road to war, Britain’s struggle in the early years of the conflict, the formation of the Allied partnership, and the long path toward victory and its aftermath. This classic English-language history set will especially interest readers of World War II, modern history, political leadership, and military strategy, while also standing out as a substantial vintage reference set for collectors of Churchill and twentieth-century history.
