While in domestic exile from political London, in the library of the family manor at Chartwell, overlooking the Weald of Kent, Churchill wrote his six-volume account of World War II. The set helped him win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953, although he did not pretend it was scrupulously objective" or complete as a history. To his credit, he himself often highlights his omissions and the gaps in the story. Churchill thought too much of himself to hide his flaws. Late historical revisionists -- Robert James', A Study in Failure (1970), John Charmley's, The End of the Glory (1993), and AJP Taylor's Origins of the Second World War (1961)-- may attempt to tamp Churchill into oblivion as a historian. Yet they still have to face the pop-up he performs as the player: He is the elephant in the war room.
I love reading Churchill's prose, which I find magnificent. This history, of course, is hardly unbiased and objective, but nevertheless it gives interesting insights into World War II. I read the full unabridged edition 30 years ago and enjoyed that too.

Good recap of WWII through British eyes. Churchill was quite a guy. No loss was not Valiant or victory not critical by the British. A good look at jockeying for position after WWII w the Russians and how crucial the friendship between FDR and Churchill. Where is Britain's modern day Churchill?
