The Second World War: Closing The Ring

CLOSING THE RING is the fifth volume of Winston Churchill's monumental work, THE SECOND WORLD WAR, which is now reaching vast new audiences in the Bantam edition.

In these pages Mr. Churchill describes the pivotal events of the war: the crucial Allied blows to the Central Powers, MacArthur's successes in the far Pacific and the breathtaking preparations for the historic landing of June 6, 1944. This fifth volume is the most intimate in Mr. Churchill's epic history. In it, he gives candid glimpses of the titans who gave form to the twentieth century: Stalin, Roosevelt, Mussolini and, of course, Churchill himself.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR is perhaps the single most important work of our era. Written with majesty and grandeur, it is based on Mr. Churchill's confidential papers and personal experiences. This magnificent series has already sold over four million copies in the English language alone.
