Second World War: Closing The Ring
CLOSING THE RING covers the decisive 12 months between June 1943 and June 1944. These achievements made possible the 'closing of the ring' which was to extinguish Axis resistance and eventually end the war. Command of the seas had returned to Allied hands, the U-boats were mastered and the Luftwaffe beaten.
Russian armies were driving the German invaders back into their own country, Italy was freed from the fascist yoke and Africa was cleared. The danger was no longer defeat but stalemate. However, before the Allies lay the formidable task of invading the aggressors in their own land.
Frankly and unreservedly, Sir Winston Churchill reveals the tensions and divergences of opinions concerning how best to achieve this among the three great partners, Britain, USA and Russia.
