THE SECOND WORLD WAR Volume II
Their Finest Hour
Winston S. Churchill
Very Good. Third revised edition, first printing. Large octavo hardback black cloth gilt xviii + 684pp. Illustrated with maps and diagrams.
THE SECOND VOLUME of Mr. Churchill’s story of the late war deals with the period between May 1940 and the end of that year. It thus embraces Mr. Churchill’s first days as Prime Minister, the defeat and fall of France, the evacuation from Dunkirk, the uneasy summer when the enemy was daily expected upon our shores, and the first gleams of light as the danger of invasion faded and the year closed with Desert Victory.
Eight months in which Great Britain stood alone at bay—the only European Power still left to carry on the struggle. Eight months in which the Nazi Fleet tried hard to snap the life-lines which brought willing aid to this island from its distant Dominions and Colonies; eight months in which the Luftwaffe tried and failed to drive the R.A.F. from the skies so that this last stronghold of European freedom might lie at the mercy of the Nazi war machine. Eight months in which Mr. Churchill led a grim and resolute people in resistance to every challenge, bringing the period to a close with the first victorious counter-attack.
The description of such events and of the decisions which were made to shape them has drawn from Mr. Churchill’s ever-brilliant pen a volume which must rank as one of his greatest achievements as a historian and a writer.
