This five volume set of war speeches stands as a commanding record of Winston Churchill’s leadership during the Second World War. The Unrelenting Struggle (1946, 4th ed, war economy; clipped and chipped DJ) presents his determination to rally Britain through the darkest days of 1940 and 1941, while The End of the Beginning (1943, 1st AUS ed.,; chipped and worn DJ) illustrates the turning point of 1942 as Allied fortunes began to shift. Onwards to Victory (1944, 1st AUS ed.,; Chipped DJ) details the campaigns of 1943 and the growing momentum toward triumph, and The Dawn of Liberation (1945, 1st AUS ed.,; DJ with wear and tear) chronicles the liberation of Europe in 1944 with Churchill’s voice guiding the nation through decisive battles. Victory (1947, 1st AUS ed.,; chipped and worn DJ) concludes the series by presenting the final triumph of 1945 and the restoration of peace. Together these volumes argue for the power of words in sustaining morale, instruct readers in the art of statesmanship under crisis, and illustrate the evolution of global conflict from peril to resolution. They stand as a cornerstone of political and military history, offering clarity, authority, and unmatched insight into the conduct of war and the preservation of freedom.
