About this listen
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.

Amazing read, beautifully written and read.
The last part in the Great War covers Jutland & the Somme to the Armistice. Again, as with part one and two, it was gripping to listen to and absorb. Churchill is excellent in his story telling, and Christian Rodska is just as excellent in his narration.
It was interesting about Churchills views on Jutland and his interest (from his investment) of David Beatty. Churchill is clearly a supporter while being highly critical of Jellicoe. History has since judged Beatty to have made numerous critical errors at Jutland which Churchill conveniently glosses over or passes blame to Jellicoe or Evan -Thomas.
Again, as with my reviews on the previous parts, some of Churchills writings must be taken with a grain of salt as they are his version of events which helps define his legacy.
Overall, The World Crisis was an excellent book. Read it. You won't regret it.

WSC- legend
Churchills account of the Great War comes with the same magnanimity which defined his prime ministership. Throughout the series one cannot but help reflect the value of logistics and industry played in the war,and a hell of a lot more strategy in the approach of the powers.
The narrator had an excellent accent- feels like Churchill himself is narrating
