The Second World War
|
With intelligence, and humor, and great poignancy, Sir Winston told us how he won WWII all by himself and in spite of the other participants. I write this with tongue in cheek, and Sir Winston was often his own greatest fan. However, Sir Winston wrote brilliantly about a very difficult subject of almost impossible breadth and depth. He wove the many strands of the story together masterfully, gave a view of both the forest and the trees, and made it readable and even enjoyable. I learned an enormous amount, and sometimes couldn't put it down! I wish that I could have met this great man who made history and then wrote about it.
