Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

In chronicling its scientific and other achievements as well as wars, the official biographer of Winston Churchill differs with Churchill's assessment of: "what a terrible disappointment the twentieth century has been." In this first of three volumes, Sir Gilbert relates the year-by-year history of this century until 1933: the year in which both Roosevelt and Hitler were inaugurated. A central motif is the competitive colonialism of the major world powers. Includes b&w photos and maps.
