SYNOPSIS..................: This second volume in Churchill’s five-volume series The World Crisis is by far the most personal—dealing frankly with Churchill’s failures as a military leader and his ultimately unsuccessful battle to break the European deadlock.
After the disastrous Gallipoli landings on the Dardanelles, Winston Churchill served for several months as commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. During this time, he served on one of the most violent stretches of the front lines, making a total of 36 courageous expeditions into No Man’s Land.
Here, Churchill provides an unflinching narrative of a particularly challenging time in World War I and in his own career—providing fascinating insight into the mental and psychological challenges faced by a major historical leader.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Rarely are events that change the world documented by a key participant, someone who was instrumental in making the military and political decisions that would shape the outcome of a world war. Winston Churchill’s The World Crisis provides the ultimate insider account—of a war intended to end all wars, a war so violent it almost undid the West altogether.
The World Crisis provides a sweeping narrative of the events of World War I that is both gripping and historically detailed—based on thousands of private letters and memos written to and by Churchill at the time. Nowhere else is the effect of this war so well conveyed by an eyewitness and historian—and so compellingly written.
