Questions on Books: The Second World War
Not all translations spanned the complete six volumes. The Turkish Edition contained only the first two volumes. Wendy Reves, wife of Churchill’s literary agent, Emery Reves, told me that the publishers refused to pay for the rest!

There were also eight translations of Churchill’s one-volume abridged edition, first published in 1959.
