THE WORLD CRISIS is Winston Churchill's comprehensive account of WW I and its aftermath. All the strategies and battles are here, as well as those who fought them. Among the great names brought back to life are Sir Edward Grey, David Lloyd George, Lord Kitchener and First Sea Lord Louis Battenberg, forced to resign his post because of his German ancestry. (The family later changed its name to Mountbatten.)
"Churchill not only wrote about the war, he participated in it as First Sea Lord. He took responsibility for the disaster at Gallipoli and was fired, which nearly finished him politically. Both experiences prepared him for WW II, steeled him for the ordeal. Thus THE WORLD CRISIS is more than history...it is prediction." (Publisher's Source)
