The Second World War (book Series)
''The Second World War'' is a history of the period from the end of the First World War to July 1945, written by Winston Churchill. Churchill labelled the "moral of the work" as follows: "In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Goodwill". Churchill wrote the book, with a team of assistants, using both his own notes and privileged access to official documents while still working as a politician; the text was vetted by the Cabinet Secretary. Churchill was largely fair in his treatment, but wrote the history from his personal point of view. He was unable to reveal all the facts, as some, such as the use of Ultra electronic intelligence, had to remain secret. From a historical point of view the book is therefore an incomplete memoir by a leading participant in the direction of the war. The book was a major commercial success in Britain and the United States. The first edition appeared in six volumes; later editions appeared in twelve and four ...

The Animated Series
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pr ...

The Gathering Storm (novel)
''The Gathering Storm'' is a fantasy novel by American writers Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, the twelfth book in the series ''The Wheel of Time''. It was incomplete when Jordan died on September 16, 2007, from cardiac amyloidosis. His widow Harriet McDougal and his publisher Tom Doherty chose Sanderson to continue the book. Jordan originally intended to finish the series in a single volume titled ''A Memory of Light''. However, when Sanderson began writing the book, it became clear that a single volume would be too large to print. The expected final book was split into three volumes: ''The Gathering Storm'', ''Towers of Midnight'', and ''A Memory of Light''. The books would be published a year apart with the first volume, ''The Gathering Storm'', published on October 27, 2009; a week earlier than originally announced. Upon its release, it immediately rose to the No. 1 position on ''The New York Times'' hardcover fiction Best Seller list, making it the fifth consecutive ...

In 2009, the National Organization for Marriage launched a $1.5 million ad campaign targeted at five states where same-sex marriage was being debated using a 60-second video entitled "Gathering Storm".
