R271 Discovery Miles 2 710 Ships in 15 - 30 working days

As seen on the BBC, The Gathering Storm is a critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning look at the nation's greatest Briton, Sir Winston Churchill's life, in the years preceding World War II.

The mid-1930's found Churchill out of favour and struggling to make his robust voice heard. Wrestling with his own personal demons - a dark depression, the loss of his family fortune, and the temporary absence of his devoted wife Clemmie - a lonely but defiant Churchill attempts to warn the world of the impending threat from Hitler's Germany.

But will the world listen?

Clint Eastwood's first half of the Iwo Jima saga. Based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers, it is February 1945, and even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on.

But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.
