Sir Winston Churchill
À propos de cet audio
Winston Churchill's superlative account of the prelude to and events of the First World War is a defining work of twentieth-century history.
With dramatic narrative power Churchill reconstructs the action on the Western and Eastern Fronts, the wars at sea and in the air and the advent of tanks and U-boats. The third and final part of Churchill's magisterial book includes the chapters Verdun, Jutland: The Encounter, The Battle of the Somme, The Intervention of the United States, Britain Conquers the U-boats, The Climax and Victory.

Excellent! 
Churchill is such a fine writer. His ability to condense masses of technical information into readable, indeed, compellingly readable text is unrivaled. And the whole is rendered brilliantly by this reader.  Thank you audible.

Magnificent
The text is simple yet compelling. The narration energetic. And the story itself, heartwrenching. For a work of nonfiction, it is impossible to put down (or turn off). But then again, I would expect nothing more from the great WSC. For any Churchill fans, this is a must.

Excellent insight to the First World War's end
Churchill provides an excellent overview of the development of the war across all its theatres and provides much detail into the British participation in it. He also provides lots of insight into naval tactics and scientific advances in warfare, particularly, as he was the head of the Admiralty and then later Minister responsible for munitions and supply.
While he delves into great detail in his areas of specialty he manages to gloss over other important factors at a higher level. For example, the major contribution of Canadian troops at Ypres, Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele goes unmentioned, although hailed by British commanders. Churchill subsumes these colonial contributions, and also Australian and New Zealand contributions (although less in respect to these other two) as "British" gallantry and grit. This shows what I believe were his views of the Empire rather than any prejudice against Canadians or other colonials, all positive contributions were that of Britain as Britain was the Empire. He misses how the Empire was changing during the first World War. Perhaps he had not had enough time pass to reflect on this or perhaps he treats this in Volume IV or V of the series on World War I.
As for the performance, i very much enjoyed Rodska's Churchill-sounding reading. He moves quickly but clearly through the, sometimes difficult, material and imprints it on your mind and seems to get the tone and nuances right almost all the time.
