The British, Soviets, and Americans unite in this chapter of the six-volume WWII history by the legendary prime minister and Nobel Prize recipient.   The Grand Alliance describes the end of an extraordinary period in British military history, in which Britain stood alone against Germany. Two crucial events brought an end to Britain's isolation. First was Hitler's decision to attack the Soviet Union, opening up a battle front in the East and forcing Stalin to look to the British for support. The second was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. US support had long been crucial to the British war effort, and here, Winston Churchill documents his efforts to draw the Americans to aid, including correspondence with President Roosevelt.   This book is part of the six-volume account of World War II told from the unique viewpoint of a British prime minister who led his nation in the fight against tyranny. In addition to the correspondence with FDR, the series is enriched with extensive primary sources. We are presented with not only Churchill's retrospective analysis of the war, but also memos, letters, orders, speeches, and telegrams, day-by-day accounts of reactions as the drama intensifies. Throughout these volumes, we listen as strategies and counterstrategies unfold in response to Hitler's conquest of Europe, planned invasion of England, and assault on Russia, in a mesmerizing account of the crucial decisions made as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.   "A masterly piece of historical writing . . . complete with humor and wit." --The New Yorker… (mere)

Churchill continues with his accurate account of the events of the war, with exceptional detail. However, it's his personal touch that is the most engaging, he neither claims glory for himself nor avoids his own faux pas. And, needless to say, his use of language and ability to inject light humour is impeccable. Fascinating. ( )

Another great volume on the British view of World War II, from a man very much on the front line. ( )

Volume 3 of Churchill's opus on World War II, this book does not disappoint. Basically covering 1941, Churchill describes in detail the fear of fighting the Axis alone, the surprise of Germany's decision to attack Russia, and the United States entry into the war.

It's fascinating to read Churchill's respect for Roosevelt and the U.S., and how he handles them with kid gloves and not once give in to the frustration he (and Britain) must have felt as they watched the U.S. stumble into the war - slowly and surely.

Equally interesting is his disdain for Stalin, calling his trust in Nazi Germany one of the biggest blunders someone could possibly make and something that could have prevented much agony in the Soviet Union.

Churchill's command of the details are complete and he is equally versed in supply and logistics, military strategy and the politics associated with governing. ( )

LA GRANDE ALLEANZA
Il terzo volume della Storia della seconda guerra mondiale è diviso in: "La Germania punta a Oriente", prima parte, e "La guerra investe l'America", seconda parte. L'Autore vi descrive per primo l'eroico sforzo che ha sostenuto il suo Paese per conservare !'iniziativa sui fronti d'oltremare e persino nell' Atlantico, dove la poderosa offensiva scatenata dai sommergibili, dagli aerei e dalle navi corsare tedesche minacciò a un certo punto di precludere per sempre rinvio dei vitali rifornimenti americani. Il grande statista britannico narra lo svolgersi degli importanti avvenimenti di quel periodo: il crollo della Jugoslavia, della Grecia, la fuga di Hess, la battaglia dell' Atlantico, l'offensiva in Cirenaica, e le vicende sul fronte etiopico, capitolo questo di sommo interesse per gli italiani. Nella seconda parte ci vengono narrati, con prosa piana e priva di enfasi, eventi di cui Churchill, in unione al suo grande amico d'oltre Atlantico, è stato il principale ideatore ed artefice. Sfilano cosi davanti agli occhi del lettore la resistenza della Russia al travolgente impeto degli eserciti del terzo Reich, la conclusione del Patto Atlantico, il bombardamento di Pearl Harbour, rentrata in guerra degli Stati Uniti. Ma, mentre le bombe giapponesi trasformano improvvisamente Pearl Harbour in un braciere, mentre le sabbie cirenaiche e le steppe russe sono arrossate di sangue, tre grandi popoli decidono di marciare uniti fino alla vittoria e prendono solenni' impegni per garantire la libertà dei popoli.

Looking back upon the unceasing tumult of the war, I cannot recall any period when its stresses and the onset of so many problems all at once or in rapid succession bore more directly on me and my colleagues than the first half of 1941.
