諾貝爾文學奬得主、英國前首相丘吉爾全景式曆史巨著 入選美國“當代文庫100”20世紀百大英文非小說
“一項文學奬本來意在把榮譽給予作者,而這一次卻相反,是作者給瞭這項文學奬以榮譽。”
——瑞典文學院院士在為丘吉爾頒發諾貝爾奬時緻辭
“在黑暗的年代裏,他的言語以及與之相應的行動,喚起瞭世界各地韆百萬人們心中的信念和希望……在人類衝突的領域裏,以前還從未發生過這樣的事:如此眾多的人都應該深深地感激一個人。”
——瑞典文學院院士利列斯特蘭德
“這確實是一本偉大的書,它撼動瞭人們的心靈,並為這段影響曆史的過程留下瞭忠實記錄。”
——《西部郵訊》
“何其幸運,我們擁有這些珍貴的財産,它將會流傳後世,讓後人們閱讀再三。”
——查爾斯?韋博斯爵士
第二次世界大戰迴憶錄是前英國首相溫斯頓?丘吉爾在第二次世界大戰剛結束之後著作的六部書。他以二戰時期英國首相的親身經曆,並引用大量政府文件和個人紀錄,記述1930年代初到二戰結束期間的主要國際事件,尤其是英國的政治和軍事活動。
全書按事件發生時間分為六冊:
第一捲《風雲緊急》The Gathering Storm(1919年-1940年5月)
第二捲《最光輝的時刻》The Finest Hour(1940年5月-1940年底)
第三捲《偉大的同盟》The Grand Alliance(1941年)
第四捲《命運的關鍵》The Hinge of Fate(1942年-1943年5月)
第五捲《緊縮包圍圈》Closing the Ring(1943年6月-1944年6月)
第六捲《勝利與悲劇》Triumph and Tragedy(1944年6月 -1945年8月世界大戰結束)
1941年上半年,英國仍在北非、地中海、中東和大西洋上孤軍奮戰,損失軍艦和商船共300萬噸之巨,情勢非常危急。羅斯福決定在冰島設立基地,由美軍參與護航。
4月13日,日蘇簽定中立條約;美日間有關太平洋問題的談判卻毫無進展,因為美方堅持日本先從中國撤兵。
6月22日,蘇聯突遭德軍襲擊,頃刻間西部邊界就被全綫突破,損失慘重。丘吉爾當初預期德、蘇必將開戰的時刻,終於到來。英國嚮蘇軍輸送軍火物資,改變瞭英國孤立作戰的情勢。
7月起,美國大力供應英蘇所需軍火;8月份,英、美通過“大西洋憲章”,奠定日後建立聯閤國的思想基礎。
12月7日,日軍偷襲珍珠港,重創美國太平洋艦隊,德國嚮美國宣戰,美國正式參戰。丘吉爾所設想的英、美、蘇三國的偉大聯盟終於實現。
Book Description
Winston Churchill's six-volume history of the cataclysm that swept the world remains the definitive history of the Second World War. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable both for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction and is an enduring, compelling work that led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Triumph and Tragedy recounts the dramatic months as the War drew to a close the Normandy landings, the liberation of Western Europe, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the surrender of Germany and Japan.
About Author
Winston S. Churchill
An English political leader and author of the twentieth century; he became prime minister shortly after World War II began and served through the end of the war in Europe. Churchill symbolized the fierce determination of the British to resist conquest by the Germans under Adolf Hitler. He forged a close alliance with Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States and Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union in opposition to Germany. Stunningly defeated in elections in 1945, he returned to office as prime minister for several years in the 1950s.
Churchill was known for his fine oratory. When he became prime minister, he said, “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.” Concerning the British airmen who fought in the Battle of Britain, he said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” He originated the phrase “Iron Curtain.” As an author, he is especially remembered for two histories, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples and The Second World War.
Churchill's appearance was distinctive, with his bowler hat, cigars, portly frame, balding head, and two-finger “V for Victory” sign.

評分刷新世界觀 當今世界格局也是二戰所形成的
評分Some disturbing points from the series. Churchill constantly underestimate the importance of Far East especially China’s contributions to the WWII. The justification for using atomic bomb on Japan is unconvincing. It projects Japanese as “without human feeling for loss and grief” that they would rather die in mass than surrender.
