Volume 4 of Churchill's WW2 history. ( )
  stpnwlf | Jul 16, 2007 |
This fourth book in Churchill's ponderous WWII series chronicles the turning point of the war. Like the others, it is full of personal remembrances and memos.

The memos actually make for tedious reading at times, but for the most part Churchill's narrative is captivating. I was especially intrigued by the chapter on a vote of censure that took place during the war's darkest days. Churchill's reaction to it would be educational for people in positions of leadership today.

Promises, promises, promises. Churchill's fourth volume of WWII memiors. The tide has turned. Churchill keeps promising Stalin supplies and a second front and not exactly not delivering, just postponing. Not as good as previous volumes, but still compelling. ( )
