Into Battle contains the most memorable Churchill speeches of the war, from Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat to his heroic homecoming at Harrow School. Unrelenting Struggle covers the period from November 1940 through Pearl Harbor and the some chicken, some neck speech in Ottawa, December 1941. End of the Beginning chronicles the turning point of the war, following victories at Alamein and Stalingrad, and the North Africa landings. Onwards features speeches delivered prior to the invasion of Europe on 6 June 1944.
