The Gathering Storm
The Gathering Storm by Winston S. ChurchillMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Gathering Storm is a fast paced history of the events from the rise of Adolf Hitler to the beginning of World War Two and Churchill's appointment as Prime Minister as biographed by Churchill himself. The narration in Churchill's own droll style sets a terrific tone to the book and Churchill eloquently leads the reader through the momentous events of the Twenties and Thirties in Europe as the war drums again began to bang.

During lockdown I have been continuing to research the material for my 4th book in the Pride Series. Pride of the Hearts: the untold story of the men and women who made the WW1 heroes of Heart of Midlothian. It tells the histories behind the 16 Hearts players who signed up for McCrae's Battalion, the 16th Royal Scots. Six lost their lives, mostly in the Battle of the Somme, and of the rest only about three did not sustain any wounds in action. Currently, the book is about 80% drafted and the genealogical research is about 95% finished. I am having some difficulty pinning down one of the players Teddy McGuire and have the Hearts' historian looking into it. Due for publication in May 2021. I have a well-known TV presenter who has agreed to endorse the book. To pre-order contact Derek Niven.
