Churchill's epic series begins in 1911, when Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty, and opens with a chilling description of the Agadir Crisis and an in-depth account of naval clashes in the Dardanelles - one of Churchill's major military failures. It takes listeners from the fierce bloodshed of the Gallipoli campaign to the tragic sinking of the Lusitania and the tide-turning battles of Jutland and Verdun - as well as the USA's entry into the combat theater. The World Crisis provides a perspective you won't find anywhere else.

They could sit in an ambush for hours without moving a muscle except to ease the safety off the automatic weapon in their hand at the first sign of trouble. These men were good because they had to be to survive.

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial se libraron muchas y muy variadas batallas, todas ellas brutales, sangrientas y devastadoras, y cada una a su propia manera. Cada batalla tuvo sus victorias y sus derrotas, sus éxitos y sus fracasos. Hubo héroes concretos en ambos bandos, también acciones heroicas de batallones enteros. Hubo hombres que lucharon hasta el final más amargo, y murieron en los embarrados campos de Francia. Sus cuerpos nunca se recuperaron, y los lugares de su descanso eterno permanecieron sin ningún tipo de señal ni recuerdo durante más de un siglo.
