An absolute unique performance; in an unusual approach to producing an audiobook, this recording have the history and the book, by Winston Churchill, rendered in a true, real-life voice approach by performer Christian Rodska. What could easily have turned into a farce, the marvelous performance by reader Rodska, not only saves the book, but brings the life and times of Winston Churchill so instantly into his own entire story of WW1. The book is a masterpiece of valuable first-hand insight by Churchill. The reading is a unique reenactment of Churchill himself in the given time-period of the history.

PERFECT READER!!!!

Another masterful account of the unfolding of the events of the final two years of WW1 from Churchill’s perspective as part of the government of the time. Full of detail of the thoughts, fears, disagreements and actions of the main government and military leaders of all nations, drawn from his personal interactions, forms fascinating insight into how the war unfolded. Again, wonderfully narrated by Christian Rodska.

Another masterful work

Excellent finish

Engaging memoirs, packed with a healthy dose of impressive self judgement. At its best when Winston speculates on how he could have won the war .... For both the allies and the hun.

Winston at his best

A history of the first world war by someone who was there. As you listen to it, you think about all the people who died in it. You realise just how bad it was. The words of Winston Churchill take you back to that time and tells what happen. Some of the best history I have every listen to. Christian Rodska is great he is just right for the voice of Winston Churchill great work.

History at it's best.

fifty months of unprecedented human slaughter
the start of more to come in the 20th century as
said Churchill was born to counter balance and seeing through the thrones of evil all be it through the fatality of war that we still can't brake away from even in 21st century.

a futile struggle for world supremacy

A thrilling book elevated to greatness by a marvellous performance from the narrator.

Make sure you’ve listened to the previous two parts first.

Truly excellent narration

Quite in depth with the reasoning as well as the results of a decision. That narrator captures the the essence of Churchill’s voice so it adds weight.

My only issue is that sometimes the timeline can be hard to follow when you move from naval action to land action.

Not perfect but still 5 stars.
