The Second World War (Six Volume Boxed Set)

Winston S. Churchill's The Second World War is the definitive, Nobel Prize–winning history of World War II, universally acknowledged as a magnificent historical reconstruction and an enduring work of literature, here together in six volumes.

From Britain's darkest and finest hour to the great alliance and ultimate victory, the Second World War remains the most pivotal event of the twentieth century. Winston S. Churchill was not only the war's greatest leader, he was the free world's singularly eloquent voice of defiance in the face of Nazi tyranny, and it's that voice that animates this six-volume history.

Remarkable both for its sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, this box set includes:

• The Gathering Storm
• Their Finest Hour
• The Grand Alliance
• The Hinge of Fate
• Closing the Ring
• Triumph and Tragedy

Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) has been called by historians "the man of the twentieth century." Prime Minister of Great Britain (1940-1945), Churchill won the Nobel prize for literature in 1953.
