THE SECOND WORLD WAR
WINSTON CHURCHILL
The modern world is still living with the consequences of World War 2, the greatest conflict in the history.
It is easy to say that the political history of the world is in fact the biographies of six men: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. But it is a gap between them. The first four were totalitarians and made or used revolutions to create monstrous dictatorships. Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were two democrats leaders who used democracy for victory.
The Second World War by Winston Churchill, in six-volume (1948-1953), is the definitive work of the greatest leader who won the Nobel Prize in 1953. This book is remarkable for its sweep and for its sense of personal involvement and it is universally recognise as a magnificent historical reconstruction and a enduring work of literature who describe's the pivotal event in our century. After he left office in 1945, he began to set all his experiance as a military historian and civil servant down on paper.
The Second World War is the greatest book that history ever written about the struggle of the Alliad Powers in Europe against Germany and the Axis. Told through the eyes of the Prime Minister of the UK, The Second World War appears to be the story of one nation's singular and heroic fight against tyranny. The pride and the patriotism of the british people is evident everywhere in Churchill's book. They learned a lesson at Munich and never forget it so, in the Second World War the British refused to make peace with Hitler, defying him even after France had fallen and after it seemed as through the Nazis were unstoppable.
Many times in his career he had been misjudged: over how to respond to Bolshevism, over the Dardanelles and Antwerp in World War I and many other things, and he felt the need to defend his actions in the face of the postwar critics and the all humanity. Besides, everyone else, and even Churchill, think that the Second World War is the most unnecessary war in the history of humanity.
The Second World War is not entirely memoirs. Each volume contains lengthy appendices of personal telegrams, appendices and directives to military and civilian officials, photographs (around 150).
Churchill's sixth sense in military matters was guide by long experiance with wars and politics. Winston Churchill considers that this book it's not history, it is his case, his judgement, his life effort. Churchill has once predicted that history would treat him kindly because he himself would write it. A contribution to history is probably the right description of this six-volume book.
