The Second World War 3: The Grand Alliance

Winston Churchills six-volume history of the cataclysm that swept the world remains the definitive history of the Second World War. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable both for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring, compelling work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. The Grand Alliance recounts the momentous events of 1941 surrounding Americas entry into the War and Hitlers march on Russia the continuing onslaught on British civilians during the Blitz, Japans attack on Pearl Harbor and the alliance between Britain and America that shaped the outcome of the War.
