The Story of The Malakand Field Force
Sir Winston S. Churchill
Book Jungle, 2007
A valid view
This is a book which I value tremendously. Rarely are books so well written as this; and whatever Churchill wrote in 1897 in this account still holds very much true, if not more so, for the context of this narrative. Were I to write an account on this subject today, ...

The Finest of the Series
After reading this book, you truly begin to see how narrow minded the average American perception of World War II really is. Not to discount the magnificant American battles such as the landing at Normandy or the Battle for Midway, but the Battle for Britain was ...

A fascinating wide-lens perspective
I ended up importing this book from the UK and was very glad I did; Churchill especially reveals himself quite candidly in these letters to his wife, especially in his years out of government before WWII. Of particular interest to me were Clementine's roles and ...

Triumph and Tragedy (The Second World War)
Winston, Sir Churchill
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1953
Missing the point
I just had to add my two cents after finishing the sixth volume all of about 15 minutes ago. I ask my fellow reviewers who accuse Churchill of a completely selfish designation of "tragedy" on his loss of power in Britain to make sure they have actually read the right ...
