Recounts six summits which had a significant political impact during the twentieth century, including the Yalta summit in 1945 with Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, and the Geneva summit in 1985 with Gorbachev and Reagan

Winston Churchill, a towering figure of the twentieth century, served as Britain’s prime minister from 1940 to 1945, leading the nation and the world from appeasement to victory over the Axis powers. His six-volume account of this period, *The Second World War*, has significantly influenced our understanding of the conflict and established him as its foremost chronicler. This book reveals how Churchill crafted this monumental work, offering fresh insights into his roles as warrior, statesman, politician, and historian. David Reynolds examines drafts and correspondence related to Churchill’s magnum opus, uncovering the various influences that shaped its final version. We learn how Whitehall vetted his manuscripts to protect sensitive information, such as the Enigma code, and how Churchill edited his writings to avoid offending key postwar figures. The narrative explores his evolving views on the atomic bomb, Stalin, and his advocacy for the D-Day landings. This major work challenges established beliefs about World War II and highlights Churchill’s “second wilderness” years from 1945 to 1951, during which he wrote himself into history and returned to power. Exhaustively researched and eloquently written, it offers a revelatory portrait of one of history's most analyzed figures.
