**The fifth volume in Winston Churchill's magnificent history of World
War II, the British prime minister and Nobel Prize winner recounts how
the Allies took the fight to the enemy in this vivid historical
account.
**Mussolini falls, Hitler is besieged on three sides, and the Japanese
find it near impossible to maintain a grip on the territories they had
recently overtaken. Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt work toward keeping
their uneasy partnership moving in concert, and much of this volume is
dedicated to describing the intricate negotiations that went on to
sustain this partnership toward one single goal.
This six-volume account of the struggle between the Allied Powers in
Europe against Germany and the Axis during World War II, told from the
unique viewpoint of a British prime minister, is also the story of one
nation's heroic role in the fight against tyranny, enriched with
fascinating primary sources. We are presented with not only Churchill's
retrospective analysis of the war, but also memos, letters, orders,
speeches, and telegrams, day-by-day accounts of reactions as the drama
intensifies. Throughout these volumes, we listen as strategies and
counterstrategies unfold in response to Hitler's conquest of Europe,
planned invasion of England, and assault on Russia, in a mesmerizing
account of the crucial decisions made as the fate of the world hangs in
the balance.
