First vol of WSC work on WWII. Begins in the 1930s describing the appeasement of Germany and Italy and ends with the retreat from Norway. He is a wonderful writer and provides his memos and some speeches from the time period so you get to see the development of his thoughts, but not sanitized by knowing the ending. In general he does not beat up his opponents in France and Germany (with a very few exceptions) and he even put some in his cabinet as PM.
This is well worth reading and I highly recommend.

A devastating criticism of the failure of appeasement in the run-up to the Second World War.

Not the best digitisation, but a classic work.
