About this listen

 Winston Churchill's superlative account of the prelude to and events of the First World War is a defining work of 20th-century history. With dramatic narrative power, Churchill reconstructs the action on the Western and Eastern Fronts, the wars at sea and in the air, and the advent of tanks and U-boats.

Rich with personal insights, this second part of Churchill's magisterial book covers the year 1915 and includes the chapters 'The Deadlock in the West', 'The First Defeat of the U-boats', 'The Battle of Suvla Bay [in Gallipoli', and 'The Abandonment of the Dardanelles'.

Vol 2 covers the detail of the 1915 initiative to cease the initiative at Gallipoli, as seen from Churchill’s perspective and self-justification of course. Even more than 100 years later it is a moment of “what might have been” that would have fundamentally changed the world in the decades that followed. A poorly understood failure and so overshadowed by the Western Front and Western European
perspective of WW1.

Excellent coverage of the ill-fated Gallipoli initiative

I read “The World Crisis” many years ago. Christian Rodska narrates it so well that it is pretty gripping stuff, and it is not difficult to imagine that one is listening to Churchill himself.

Very fine narration of a historical classic

Second part of the essential works of Churchill. Wonderfully read also. The story continues and the great powers come to a deadlock. Churchill comes across as a man who wants to think outside the box and perhaps is ahead of his time. Onto the last part..

Essential

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!!!

Very interesting history

20 years ago WSC was voted Britains " Greatest Briton". In an interview, Gary Oldman, who played WSC in " Darkest Hour", stated his complete respect for the man having fully researched the man up to 1940. Of course, we now know the outcome, but May, 1940 was a pivotal moment in the war when Hitler stood on the brink of victory.

Excellent history
