Churchill is wonderful Sheldon. One of my favorites.

Just as an FYI - you must learn how we do citations here at the HBC - we add the book cover, the word by, there is one blank space before and after the word by - then the author's photo if available and then followed by the author's link which is the author's name in linkable text. If there is no author's photo - then add (no photo) after the author's link at the end.

Here is how the book you cited should look:

The Second World War, Volume 1 The Gathering Storm by Winston S. Churchill by Winston S. Churchill Winston S. Churchill

Synopsis:

World War II: The Definitive Visual History is a comprehensive, authoritative, yet accessible guide to the people, politics, events, and lasting effects of World War II.
Perhaps the most complex, frightening, and destructive event in global history, the Second World War saw the heights of human courage and the depth of human degradation. World War II presents a complete overview of the war, including the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, fascism, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and the D-Day landings. This book also looks at the enduring effects of World War II during succeeding decades.

Expanded with an all-new guide to battlefield and memorial sites and repackaged to honor the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, World War II: The Definitive Visual History covers key military figures, pivotal battles, political profiles, and strategies, as well as features on everyday life on the Home Front as ordinary citizens did their best to aid the war effort. Gallery spreads feature collections of uniforms, weapons, and other equipment. Maps, timelines, and side panels offer an inviting variety of entry point to the huge wealth of information.
