Although the Grand Alliance was now in place, Churchill knew that it would take precious time before it would be able to effectively engage and subdue the enemy. Disaster was upon him almost at once. With the entrance of Japan into the global conflict, our Far East possessions were under immediate threat. Singapore and the Philippines fell. In Africa, Rommel took Tobruk. At sea, the loss of ships mounted. His task seemed ever greater, but his spirit, his resolve, his belief in his people's ability to overcome the terrible evil of Nazism was unshakeable.

Disappointing
Revisado: 04-01-23
After listening to the first 3 unabridged volumes, this was a complete disappointment. When I purchased it I didn’t realize it was seriously abridged. The content of this volume is contained in the unabridged Vol 3, The Grand Alliance. I found the added music dramatics annoying. The change in narrators is ok and I have no issues with that. I had grown accustomed to Christian Rodska’s narration. You will miss a lot if this abridged version is the only one you listen to. It’s like a very brusque “just the facts” and actually misses the essence of what Churchill wrote. I have purchased a physical set of the 6 volumes so I can peruse them, highlight text and continue to discover the fascinating personal nuggets Churchill revealed. You miss all that in the abridged version. I’m disappointed in this volume and that it seems further volumes are only available in this shortened format. I gave 1 star for the performance because of the music added. The narration by Michael Jayston I would give 4 stars. I gave 1 star overall because I was just so dismayed and dissatisfied with this.
