Sir Winston Churchill
À propos de cet audio
"After the first forty days we were alone," writes Churchill. This edition is part two of Churchill's own abridgement of his original six-volume history of the Second World War.
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. This is an unabridged recording of Churchill's condensed volume, broken up into four parts, as follows:
1. Milestone to Disaster
2. Alone
3. The Grand Alliance
4. Triumph and Tragedy

In the Second World War every bond between man and man was to perish. Crimes were committed by the Hitler regime which find no equal in scale and wickedness with any that have darkened the human record. It was a simple policy to keep Germany disarmed after the struggle of the First World War and the Victors adequately armed in vigilance. But errors were soon made.

Winston Churchill is perhaps the most important political figure of the 20th century. His great oratory and leadership during the Second World War were only part of his huge breadth of experience and achievement. Studying his life is a fascinating way to imbibe the history of his era and gain insight into key events that have shaped our time.

The English-speaking peoples comprise perhaps the greatest number of human beings sharing a common language in the world today. These people also share a common heritage. For his four-volume work, Sir Winston Churchill took as his subject these great elements in world history. Volume 1 commences in 55BC, when Julius Caesar famously "turned his gaze upon Britain" and concludes with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Churchill.
This book is written by Churchill. He may be biased to his own view, but it is certainly a view better than mine. History written by the victor.
Not made clear in the display and marketing of this book that it is one of a series, and not the first. I believe it is only the 4th book to suggest so on the cover image

WWII from his point of view, as usual he claims to be blameless for any cockups.

….lessons forgotten
As we watch passively while China’s communist dictatorship consumes freedom, these books are a frightening reminder of the lessons already forgotten… tremendous reader for this series channels Churchill himself

Get's you hooked to buy the rest.
This is a fascinating look at the buildup to the war, there is so much I just didn't know, or even know to wonder about.
The narrator made me feel like I was hearing Churchill read it himself, not that he is trying to sound like Churchill, he reads it so well.
Churchill did an excellent job of writing in broad terms and then zooming in on specific events and giving us the details, he was a very talented writer. Getting Churchill's own account in his own words, while it isn't as balanced and rigorous as the work of some professional historians may be, is honest, candid and compelling.
Being in my thirties I have been listening to this series while prepping meat for the smoker and while on the road for my job.

Stunning
Christian Rodska is masterful. And Winston Churchill was the rare man who had the strength, courage and opportunity to step up and play a pivotal role in history when given the opportunity to do so. Luckily for us, he was also an excellent writer, so his first hand account of WW2 it is both moving, and at times entertains, and worth every minute.

Great insights. Brilliant writing.
This book should be read on the merit of the author alone. Sir Winston Churchill saved the world!
