World War II - Winston Churchill's six-volume war memoirs written between 1948 and 1953, describing the events surrounding the outbreak, course and consequences of World War II, from the point of view of the political leader of the Allied States. In 1953, Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for this monumental work.
Numerous documents cited, including military correspondence with military commanders and politicians, add to the historical credibility of Churchill's memoirs. The author also does not pretend to judge the situation, he only tries to describe events. Admittedly, he does not hide his emotions, such as the pain associated with the surrender of Singapore, however, he refrains from judging. Thanks to this style of reporting events and the position of the author, the undisputed creator of the history of the time, give the memoirs great importance, giving them a strong position among classic works of this kind.
