Their Finest Hour
The Second World WarBy Winston Churchill
Length28h 13m
About this audiobook
Their Finest Hour covers the period in World War 2 after the fall of France when Britain stood alone, with victorious Germany and Italy engaged in mortal attack upon them, with Soviet Russia a hostile neutral actively aiding Hitler, and Japan an unknowable menace. Churchill labeled the "moral of the work" as follows: "In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Goodwill"
