The Gathering Storm: The Second World War Volume 1

The Gathering Storm is the first volume in Winston Churchill’s The Second World War, a history of World War II from the end of the First World War to the conclusion of the second in 1945. Though Churchill wrote the history from his own perspective and held back necessary classified information, The Second World War is lauded as a fair and accurate account of war, and has remained one of the most important historical records of the military, political, and diplomatic realities in Britain at that time. Winston Churchill’s work on the six-volume series earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953.
