Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Their Finest Hour is part of Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the cataclysm that swept the world, which remains the definitive history of the Second World War. Lucid and dramatic, this work is remarkable both for its breadth and sweep, and for its sense of personal involvement.

It is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring, compelling work that led to Churchill being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Their Finest Hour enthrallingly recounts key events and battles from May to December 1940, as Britain stood isolated while Nazi Germany pursued its seemingly unconquerable war path. It covers pivotal moments such as the fall of France, Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain, the horrors of the Blitz, and Hitler's plans to invade and crush Russia, his sole ally in Europe.
