By: Winston Groom
Best-selling author Winston Groom, "one of America’s great storytellers" (The Wall Street Journal), crafts a gripping narrative about the tense alliance between Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, who aligned as leaders of the Allied forces to win World War II and redefine the international political stage.
Explore the tensions of an uneasy alliance between three of the twentieth century's most significant leaders in The Allies, where Pulitzer Prize finalist Winston Groom tells the story of how Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin negotiated to shape the modern world.
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—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 these three men changed the course of history.
In The Allies, Groom uses the remarkable correspondence between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin to explore a triumverate that influenced the next century of politics. Through rich narrative details of each man's personal life and riveting tales of their public and private battles, a portrait emerges of three world leaders who fought the largest war in history, and clashed and compromised en route to outcomes that changed the world.
