But three great Allied leaders--Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin--emerged to control the war in Europe and the Pacific. Vastly different in upbringing, political beliefs, and character, they were not always in agreement, or even on good terms. But together they changed the course of history. Using personal correspondence, enriching details from their private lives, and riveting tales of battles won and lost, Groom weaves together the remarkable story of three men who fought the largest war in history--and shaped the political landscape of the modern world. 20240212.
