Product Description
by Winston Groom (Author)
Best-selling author Winston Groom's riveting narrative tells the complex story of Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin's alliance to win World War II and create a new world order.
By the end of World War II, 59 nations were arrayed against the axis powers. But three great Allied leaders--Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin--had emerged to control the war in Europe and the Pacific. Vastly different in upbringing and political beliefs, they were not always in agreement, or even on good terms. But, often led by Churchill's enduring spirit, these three men, with their vastly different leadership styles, changed the course of history. Using the remarkable correspondence between the three world leaders, enriching narrative details of their personal lives, and riveting tales of battles won and lost, best-selling historian Winston Groom returns to share one of the biggest stories of the 20th century: The interwoven and remarkable tale of three world leaders who fought the largest war in history.Author Biography
