By the end of World War II, 59 nations were arrayed against the Axis powers, but three Allied leaders—Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin—had emerged to shape 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, in the end they rose above their squabbles when it mattered most. Using the remarkable letters between the three men, enriching narrative details of their personal lives, and riveting tales of battles won and lost, Winston Groom follows up The Generals with a "well-researched and fast-paced narrative" (Publishers Weekly) about what gave the Allies their decisive edge.
