The grand alliance

"Winston Churchill's monumental The Second World War, is a six volume account of the struggle between the Allied Powers in Europe against Germany and the Axis. Told by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, this book is also the story of one nation's heroic role in the fight against tyranny. Having learned a lesson at Munich they would never forget, the British refused to make peace with Hitler, defying him even after France had fallen and it seemed as though the Nazis were unstoppable. The Grand Alliance describes the end of an extraordinary period in British military history in which Britain stood alone against Germany. Two crucial events brought an end of Britain's isolation. First is Hitler's decision to attack the Soviet Union, opening up a battle front in the East and forcing Stalin to look to the British for support. The second event is the bombing of Pearl Harbor. U.S. support had long been crucial to the British war effort, and Churchill documents his efforts to draw the Americans to aid, including correspondence with President Roosevelt."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

  • "Winston Churchill's great history, begun with The Gathering Storm and continued in Their Finest Hour, now broadens its sweep and reaches a climax with Pearl Harbor and the historic Christmas of 1941 at the White House. Here is the war on a world scale: the German Drive to the East, threatening the life line of the Empire, the ding-dong struggle in the desert, the Battle of the Atlantic, with the story of the sinking of the Bismarck, and above all, the entrance on the stage of the strange new ally, Russia."@en
