Scot's review
rating:
Even though Churchill is in love with the numerics of war (tonage of ships, material & arms, troops, etc.) These books have fascinating details, primary documents like memo's and such and interesting stories about Churchill's relationships with Roosevelt and Stalin, etc.. and it's history written from one of the participants(sometimes maybe it's myopic and self aggrandizing, but that's to be expected to some extent) and it reads like he speaks, which, of course, is wonderfully insightful and funny.
