   Did Winston Churchill actually write a WW2 diary?

   • Yes, this was the ABRIDGED version. The actual WWII chronicles of Winston Churchill are six whole volumes. Whew. It's a good chronological diary of events of WW2. However, it is written for British public and sounds like Churchill is justifying his shortcomings to his nation. Churchill proves himself to be a hateful figure.

   Is Churchill's WWII history accurate?

   • But if you want accurate history, go elsewhere. Since millions of documents have been declassified, especially the existence of ULTRA, any WWII history released before 1980 is by definition, woefully incomplete. Like Eisenhower's war memoir, Churchill's is intended to secure his place in history, not at all to tell an accurate story.
