The Second World War: The Classic One-Volume Abridgment

The former Prime Minister and Nobel Prize–winning author chronicles Britain’s World War II experience from the aftermath of WWI to July 1945.

World War II was the most pivotal event of the twentieth century. It was Great Britain’s darkest and finest hour in which the nation’s people showed great resilience and resourcefulness. Helping to lead them through this tumultuous era was Sir Winston Churchill. The Second World War is his account of the period, compiled using his own notes as well as official documents to which he had official access.

This edition of The Second World War is the classic one-volume abridgment of Sir Winston Churchill’s landmark history of the conflict. It was abridged by Denis Kelly (with Churchill’s approval) of the following volumes composed by Churchill: The Gathering Storm, The Finest Hour, The Grand Alliance, The Hinge of Fate, Closing the Ring, and Triumph and Tragedy. This edition also features Churchill’s epilogue now published in book form for the first time.

At once a personal account and a magisterial history, this remains Churchill's literary masterpiece.
