Publisher's Summary
In the Second World War, every bond between man and man was to perish. Crimes were committed by the Hitler regime that 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. The tragedy of America’s failure to enter the League of Nations; the weakness and lack of resolution of the democracies to confront the growing strength, reach, and ambition of the fascist dictators in Germany, Italy, and Japan; the economic turmoil that allowed these events to spark and build.
In this first volume it is all too easy to see and understand how this immense tragedy could have been avoided, how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous. We shall hear how the counsels of prudence and restraint became the prime agents of mortal danger in this Gathering Storm. The overview is read by Winston S Churchill, MP, and the volume narrated by Michael Jayston.

bias
my rating is very bias as i have an unhealthy love for the time period, politics, and Winston Churchill. if you like those three things then my rating should be accurate and if you just have a mild interest in some of those things then think of the story as a 3 star review. the writing and narration are still at 4 or 5 stars regardless.

weird choice of reciter
I understand that whoever was in charge of choosing the artist tried to find one with the most "authentic" voice, but it raise several consideration. First: did you hear real records of Churchill voice? It is impossible to understand to anybody who is not a native British English speaker. so, this voice not even close to the original.
Second: if you care for making your audience broader, you might consider to name your audio book as easy listening as possible by using actor with easy accent.
English is not my first language, and I don't understand why should I make so much effort just to listen something while driving.
