Summary
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. Please note: This book was originally published in six volumes:
1.The Gathering Storm
2. Their Finest Hour
3. The Grand Alliance
4. The Hinge of Fate
5. Closing the Ring
6. Triumph and Tragedy
Churchill then condensed these into four volumes, which have since been released as one, rather hefty, publication. Audible has published the unabridged recordings of Churchill's condensed volume, divided into four parts, as follows:
1.Milestone to Disaster
2.Alone
3.The Grand Alliance
4.Triumph and Tragedy

From the Heart
I’ve read & listen to many books on the Second World War from many different historians.
Sir Winston Churchill’s account seen through his own eyes,for me it brings reality into context & defines the person that is Sir Winston Churchill.

Fascinating & compelling
I’ve long wanted to fill in my sketchy understanding of WW2. This an excellent place to start. The writing is superb. It carries you along in an absolutely compelling way. The reading is also superb - clear & with the unmistakeable tones of the man himself. Now on to Volume 2.

Lessons we ignore and still making the same mistakes
Brilliant, very informative and great performance, you can see we have still not learnt the lessons from the past

A must read
There are pertinent lessons for the current state of British politics to be derived from the most serious made by our political leaders and national media in the years before WW2. This book outlined these succinctly and in compelling purpose style.

Great but what happened after 1942
Great but what happened after 1942. Audio downloads were in two parts which I assume med was the original two volumes Churchill wrote. It appears to finish in 1942 did Churchill write it this way or has something gone wrong ? otherwise very good.

A front row seat to history
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The narrator was first class. I could close my eyes and imagine it was Churchill himself reading his own book. The flow was smooth and kept my interest throughout. Recommended to anyone interested in history and WW2.

Well read, engaging.
Knowing it is likely biased, Churchill gives some weight to opposing views and tells his side very well indeed.
