false <![CDATA[The Gathering Storm (Second World War)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174085272m/360253.jpg 360253 6 Winston Churchill was not only a statesman and leader of historic proportions, he also possessed substantial literary talents. These two factors combine to make <i>The Gathering Storm</i> a unique work. The first volume of Churchill's memoirs, this selection is broken into two parts. The first, "From War to War," consists of Churchill's critical observations on the settlement of World War I and its place in the causes of the Second World War. The second volume contains letters and memoranda from the British government--of which Churchill was part--as the country plunged unprepared into war. This stands as the best of history: written as it was made, by the man who made it. 350367 1948 The Gathering Storm (Second World War) total:242|5:104|4:94|3:42|2:2|1:0| 242 1026 407 34 4 2 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 06:26:23 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 09:57:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Apr 06 16:18:23 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 15:02:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 08:25:32 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 08:48:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jun 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 17:04:46 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 07:23:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 04 12:30:49 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 13:27:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 02 13:30:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 13:30:00 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 07:59:53 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 08:18:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 15:29:11 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 17:29:58 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jul 24 03:24:21 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 11:42:35 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 03:24:21 -0700 2009
