Churchill's six-volume history of World War II -- the definitive work, remarkable both for its sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, universally acknowledged as a magnificent historical reconstruction and an enduring work of literature. From Britian's darkest and finest hour to the great alliance and ultimate victory, the Second World War remains the pivotal event in our century. Churchill was not only its greatest leader, but the free world's most eloquent voice of defiance in the face of Nazi tyranny. His epic account of those times, published in six volumes, won the Nobel Prize in 1953.
Winston Churchill steered Britain through its darkest hours during
World War Two. He was one of the twentieth century's greatest
orators, and the speeches that he painstakingly composed, rehearsed
and delivered inspired courage in an entire nation. Churchill's
output was prolific - his complete speeches alone contain over 5
million words. On this special recording, the best and most
important of those have been brought together in this historic
volume. Using digitally remastered archive recordings, they
include: 'Blood, toil, tears and sweat' / 'The Few' / 'This was
their finest hour' / 'We can take it!' / 'An Iron Curtain has
descended' / 'Never give in!' / 'A total and unmitigated defeat'/
'Give us the tools'. Winston Churchill oversaw some of the most
important events the world has ever seen and was the most eloquent
and expressive statesman of his age. These speeches help reveal the
man behind the defiant orator and demonstrate why, in a national
poll, Sir Winston Churchill was voted 'Greatest Briton of All
Time'. ' The most persuasive and patriotic exhortations to arms
since the Agincourt address from Henry V.' - Guardian. 2 CDs. 2 hrs
30 mins.
The quintessence of the war as seen by it's greatest player, in a one-volumn abridged edition that captures all the drama of the original volumes.
Winston Churchill knew the power of words. In speeches, books, and
articles, he expressed his feelings and laid out his vision for the
future. His wartime writings and speeches have fascinated

passages that express the essence of Churchill's thoughts and
describe--in his own inimitable words--the main adventures of his
life and the main crises of his career. From first to last, they
give insight into his life, how it evolved, and how he made his
mark on the British and world stage.
