Churchill was largely fair in his treatment, but wrote the history from his personal point of view. He was unable to reveal all the facts, as some, such as the use of Ultra electronic intelligence, had to remain secret. From a historical point of view the book is therefore an incomplete memoir by a leading participant in the direction of the war.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescriptionSection__StyledDescriptionSection-sc-trkwix-0 gNVbmw\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese are the volumes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul aria-labelledby=\"item-subject_headings\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe Gathering Storm (1948) \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir Finest Hour (1949) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Grand Alliance (1950) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Hinge of Fate (1950) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClosing the Ring (1951) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTriumph and Tragedy (1953)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn a beautiful Easton Press limited edition.
