Based on the growth experience of countless outstanding soldiers in history, the formation of officer quality cannot lack the necessary natural endowments, nor can it be separated from environmental shaping and acquired training. However, the most critical factor lies in the activation of people's potential qualities. The so-called activation refers to the process in which existing potential is awakened, stimulated and solidified into lasting abilities under repeated stimulation. It is the result of the long-term interaction between innate conditions and acquired training. Quality depends on the activation of potential. Activate yourself - this is what every officer, every young man who aspires to become talented, or parents who want their children to succeed should know...

Jomini was the founder of modern national defense thought. He put national defense at the top of military and economic work and believed that national defense was the most important task. At the same time, we advocate a reserve system in which "all people are soldiers". He highly praised Napoleon's war of annihilation, which was to concentrate superior forces, take the initiative to attack, and annihilate the enemy's effective strength. Jomini was a witness to Napoleon's success and summarized the laws, experiences and lessons of Napoleon's wars in military theory. Therefore, historians believe that "Napoleon only performed meritorious deeds but did not make any statements. It is Jomini's credit to explain Napoleon's achievements theoretically." "Introduction to the Art of War" puts forward many guiding principles, methods and forms of combat, and believes that: war is far from an exact science, but a terrifying and passionate drama, and an art; the common principle and key that all wars must follow is to concentrate forces and destroy the enemy; offense is better than defense, offense is an aggressive type of combat, and defense is a temporary standby action taken to switch to offense at the appropriate time.

"On Air Power" was also translated as "On Air Control" and "On Air Force Strategy", and put forward the idea of ​​air power. Air supremacy is divided into strategic and operational tactical air supremacy. Mastering air superiority can have a significant impact on the outcome of a war. The main ideas in the book are: aircraft are excellent offensive weapons and will cause a revolution in the form of war; future wars will be total, the battlefield will expand to the entire national border, all citizens will be exposed to enemy air attacks, and land and sea defenses can no longer protect the country. Therefore, the country's ability to resist depends on the total capabilities, all resources and all the beliefs of the warring parties. The armed forces are the entire population; air power can crush the enemy's material and moral resistance. Establishing an independent air force and gaining air supremacy are of decisive significance to the war; during the war, the land, sea and air force should cooperate in combat, and the air force should follow the two principles of always concentrating its forces and launching a high-intensity attack on the enemy.

This book describes the magnificent history before the Allied forces were about to achieve total victory in the late World War II: the successful convening of the Yalta Conference, the Soviet Red Army's march to Berlin, the defeat and surrender of German fascism, the friction between the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, the United States dropping two atomic bombs on Japan and the impact of the Potsdam Proclamation. At the same time, it also shows the complex and subtle relationships within the Allies. Although a series of international conferences established a new order, the barriers and contradictions between the Western world and the Soviet Union have never been eliminated. The world was ruthlessly divided into two halves by the "Iron Curtain".

In this book, the author tells the story of how, as Prime Minister, First Chancellor of the Exchequer, Defense Minister and Leader of the House of Commons in the early days of World War II, when Germany launched a fatal attack on Britain, in the absence of external assistance, he led the British people to fight bravely and jointly passed through the most difficult period of the war. During this period, although the British people were isolated and helpless, they always held on to the fortress and tenaciously resisted the air attacks of German aircraft day and night. The situation in North Africa is even less optimistic, and the Italians are taking the opportunity to continue to encroach on North African countries. Under this situation, the British government actively sought support from the United States, Spain and other countries in an attempt to jointly fight against the further expansion of fascism.

In this book, the author describes the complex relationship between the United States and the Allies, from secretly providing assistance to the Allies, to gradually changing its attitude towards the war as the situation developed, until the "Pearl Harbor incident" that humiliated the United States. The United States, a military power that tried to stay out of the war in the early days of the war, truly joined the camp of the Allies and participated in the struggle to resist and eliminate fascist Germany and Japan.

This book describes Japan's aggression against relevant countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim in the middle of World War II, as well as the different responses of the United States and Britain to this. After long preparations, Japan launched a comprehensive war of aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, causing the United States to pay a heavy price in the Pacific battlefield and causing Britain to suffer huge losses in Southeast Asia. At that time, the world situation was entering an extremely anxious period. From China to Myanmar, from Malta to Madagascar, everyone was involved in this unpredictable melee. In addition, the book also reflects the key role China played in resisting Japanese aggression.

From June to December 1943, the Allied forces worked together to conquer Sicily and force Mussolini to collapse, thus further tightening the encirclement of Nazi Germany. As the war situation gradually became clearer, the prototype of the post-World War II international order took shape. This book traces and reproduces the entire process of the Allied victory over Italy, touching on the complex and subtle relationships between the United States, Britain, France and other Allied powers.

This book takes readers into the stalemate in the middle of World War II and into the arduous and spectacular historical landscape on the African battlefield. At that time, after withstanding the initial fierce offensive of the fascist countries, the Allies gradually gained a foothold. Eisenhower led his troops into North Africa and reversed the situation in Africa in one fell swoop; Churchill successively visited Moscow and Washington, demonstrating magnificent great-power diplomacy. At the same time, the romantic Casablanca and the mysterious Katyn, Poland, these familiar place names are looming in the book.

This book mainly describes the entire process from June 6, 1944, when the US and British forces launched the largest amphibious landing in history in Normandy, to the end of 1944, when the Axis forces were retreating steadily and the Allied forces were unstoppable in liberating Europe. The Allied forces advanced from Normandy to Paris, the Soviet Union's victory in the Balkans and the conquest of Italy. The success of these battles ushered in Europe's final victory. In the book, the author also keenly observes the conflict of interests among the major powers Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union in the process of dividing the world territory after the war. The book has compact language and detailed content. Readers can appreciate the overwhelming "tide of victory" of the Allies at the end of World War II just between the lines.

This book faithfully records the late period of World War II. After the war in Italy ended, the Allies assessed the situation, cooperated closely, and carefully formulated the final strategy for launching a general offensive against Nazi Germany. From Tehran to Rome, the heads of allied countries held a series of compact and productive meetings, which promoted the final victory of the war and roughly determined the division of the post-war world map. At the same time, in Yugoslavia, Greece, Burma and other places, the war is still arduously continuing, but the dawn of victory has begun to appear in the sky.

This book mainly describes the historical facts of Europe from 1911 to 1914. When analyzing the real causes of World War I, Churchill revealed the historical origins and intricate international relations of conflicts of interest among major capitalist countries since 1870, outlined the situation of arms expansion and war preparations as World War I approached, and introduced the frequent diplomatic activities of the two major groups. Churchill called the period from August to December 1914 after the outbreak of World War I the first stage of the war. It describes the situation when Germany raided neutral Belgium and invaded France after the war began, and then Britain crossed the sea to support France. At this stage, France and Britain jointly launched the massive Marne River and other battles, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties, a waste of lives and nothing gained. In addition, this book also describes the initial stages of the naval battle between Britain and Germany, and the German navy's shelling and continuous harassment of British coastal cities. At the same time, the relationship between Türkiye and the Balkan countries, which will affect the overall situation of World War I, is introduced in more detail.

1915 was the second phase of the First World War. France and Britain launched the Battle of Champagne, the Battle of Artois, the Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of Los Loos. In the face of new weapons - machine guns and powerful artillery - the dominant traditional military thinking - frontal attack, charge and fight, and repel the enemy's defense line - became ineffective. The Western Front achieved nothing except a life-consuming battle, and the war reached a stalemate. The British invented tanks and used smoke screens, making only limited progress. The British Navy had control of the sea, but its commander was conservative in thinking and ineffective in naval warfare, so no positive results were achieved. In this volume, Churchill made the strategic decision to attack the Dardanelles, which had a decisive impact on the combination of international forces and the entire war. However, due to the lack of understanding and weak support from most military leaders, the war opportunities were repeatedly delayed, and good opportunities to secure victory were missed more than ten times, and finally ended in failure. The Allies were in crisis.

This book is dedicated to the Eastern Front of World War I. It begins by talking about the historical origins of the quarrel between the two major groups before World War I; then details the assassination of the Austrian crown prince and how this incident became the trigger for the war; details the Austrian declaration of war on Serbia, and the subsequent process of the two major groups declaring war on each other and fighting the war on the Eastern Front. Russia's march into East Prussia reduced the pressure on the German army on the west front against France and Britain, and the Russian army initially achieved victory. However, the situation changed after the German army changed its command, and Hindenburg and Ludendorff took over the command of the eastern front. In addition, the Russian army was surrounded and annihilated by the German army due to leaked telecommunications, and was retreated steadily thereafter. Finally, the October Revolution broke out in Russia and it withdrew from the First World War.

In 1919, the famous Paris Peace Conference was held. The state of war finally ended, however, European countries unknowingly entered another dilemma. The defeated countries face severe sanctions, while the victorious countries each hope to gain more benefits. After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations was established, and the powers re-established a balance, hoping to achieve a vision of permanent peace. However, this vision looks very fragile. On the European continent, local fighting never ended. France and Germany did not really shake hands and make peace, Russia fell into civil war, Ireland demanded independence, and Türkiye and surrounding countries were in turmoil. Churchill remained soberly aware that "the danger of war has not left the world."

In "World War Series (Volume 2) Churchill's Memoirs of World War II 01: From War to War", the author assesses the situation from a politician's unique perspective, gives a panoramic description of the European situation from 1919 to 1939, analyzes and introduces the huge impact that World War I had on European countries under the rule of different regimes, and the subsequent political and military actions of each country. Readers can thus gain an in-depth understanding of the changes in the European situation under the Treaty of Versailles after World War I and how events such as the appeasement policy pursued by Britain and France, sanctions against Italy, and the civil war in Spain affected World War II. The book fully considers a series of war policies of Germany, the defeated country, and Britain and France, the main victors. On this basis, it details the reasons for the outbreak of World War II: Germany and Russia signed a non-aggression treaty in 1939. Only one week later, on September 1, the German army invaded Poland, and World War II broke out. The author comprehensively presents to readers the turbulent European situation in the two decades from World War I to World War II with a smooth pen, and demonstrates his vision and wisdom as a great statesman and strategist through a large number of precious documents and important historical materials. The Swedish Academy said in its citation for awarding the Nobel Prize for Literature to Churchill: "Churchill's speeches were concise, agile, penetrating, and touching. His speeches seemed to have the power to reshape history. ... At the critical moment when human freedom and dignity were at stake, Churchill inspired people's fighting spirit with his unique eloquence. Perhaps it was these great speeches that established him an immortal monument."
