A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.

The Mediterranean, scene of some of the toughest struggles in history, once more becomes a battleground. Malta, the vital centre, heroically withstands almost incessant air raids. The disablement of half the Italian battlefleet at Taranto enables General Wavell to launch the first British offensive of the war and to drive the enemy out of Egypt; but the troops he sends to Greece meet with disaster and are evacuated, first to Crete, and then to Egypt where a new menace-Rommel and his Afrika Korps threatens them.
