Description - The World Crisis, Volume I: 1911-1914 by Winston Churchill

Written with Churchill's customary flair and his firsthand knowledge of events, The World Crisis series remains the greatest history of the Great War. The statesman oversaw Britain's naval effort and its aerial defense, and he saw active service on the Western Front. His personal experiences enrich and inform this unabridged first volume of the series, which chronicles the earliest days of the conflict, the collapse of the Great Power system, the arms race between England and Germany, and more. AUTHOR: Winston Churchill (1874 1965) is probably best known as the Prime Minister who guided Britain successfully through World War II. But during World War I, he was at the center of international affairs as his country's First Lord of the Admiralty and as the leader of its aerial defense. After masterminding the disastrous Gallipoli campaign, he resigned from the government and sought to rehabilitate his reputation by serving with the army on the Western Front. Before and after the First World War, Churchill wrote several successful books that are still read today by students and historians.
