The World Crisis is considered by many to be Winston S. Churchill’s literary masterpiece. Published across five volumes between 1923 and 1931, Churchill tells the story of The Great War, from its origins to the long shadow it cast on the following decades.

At once a history and a first-hand account of Churchill’s own involvement in the war, The World Crisis remains a compelling account of the conflict and its importance.

Volume I covers the origins and earliest days of the war from 1911-1914, as well as the longer history of the collapse of the Great Power system from the Franco-Prussian war onwards. Churchill explores the international tensions over the Balkan states that triggered the conflict, as well as the arms race between the British and German navies.
