Angebote / Angebote:

* Controversial approach: Keeney explores the three leaders from a highly controversial perspective, showcasing a disagreeable Churchill, an indecisive Roosevelt, and a deft, insightful Stalin who in the end brokers the deal that unites the Allies and leads to the defeat of Hitler. * Media-savvy author: L. Douglas Keeney, cofounder of The Military Channel and author of more than a dozen books, has been reviewed by The New York Times, Bloomberg, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, The San Francisco Chronicle, Newsweek, The New Yorker, Newsweek Magazine, Slate, The Wall Street Journal and numerous other publications. He is a frequent speaker and edits the series Lost Histories of World War II (Premier). * Perennial topic: With recent successes of books such as Unbroken and A Higher Call, readers continually prove their interest in World War II histories. * Resources and unrevealed information: Keeney's meticulous research of the private papers, diaries, meeting notes, and letters home of those on board, along with official wartime documents, help fill in the gap of the days during Roosevelt's voyage and at the conference, much of which has been previously unrevealed. * Photos: features 50 high-resolution black-and-white original photographs
