Second World War

From the great cities of Europe to the jungles of Burma, and from the deserts of North Africa to the remote islands of the South Pacific and the freezing waters of the Arctic, the Second World War touched every continent and ocean on the planet. And from the Blitzkrieg to the atom bomb, the fighting fuelled new technological development on land, at sea and in the air at a ferocious pace. Our future was forged by war.

Sixty million people died in the Second World War, and still they tell us it was the Peoples War.
The official history of the Second World War is Victors History. This is the history of the Second World War without the patriotic whitewash.

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.
