Publisher Description
In the Second World War every bond between man and man was to perish. Crimes were committed by the Hitler regime which find no equal in scale and wickedness with any that have darkened the human record. It was a simple policy to keep Germany disarmed after the struggle of the First World War and the Victors adequately armed in vigilance. But errors were soon made. The tragedy of America’s failure to enter the League Of Nations; the weakness and lack of resolution of the Democracies to confront the growing strength, reach and ambition of the Fascist dictators in Germany, Italy and Japan; the economic turmoil that allowed these events to spark and build. In this first volume it is all too easy to see and understand how this immense tragedy could have been avoided, how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous. We shall hear how the counsels of prudence and restraint became the prime agents of mortal danger in this The Gathering Storm. The overview is read by Winston S Churchill MP and the volume narrated by Michael Jayston.

GROSSLY ABRIDGED
I bought the 6 book series on eBay and downloaded the audiobook to keep me on pace while reading. The beginning of the audiobook is not the preface and when it starts the first chapter it doesn’t even get through the first paragraph before skipping whole sentences. The actual book is 668 pages and 38 chapters not including the appendices. HISTORICAL REVISION BY REMOVING CONTENT
