Churchill and Roosevelt at war : the war they fought and the peace they hoped to make

Summary: Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, two of this century's most charismatic leaders, and men of vastly different temperament, together shaped Allied strategy throughout World War II. What began as a cordial friendship ended as a bitter association fraught with disagreement. While much has been written about both Churchill and Roosevelt, especially their written correspondence, Keith Sainsbury, in this compelling account, sheds new light on the dramatic implications of this immensely powerful wartime relationship. Allied strategy underwent a significant change over the six years of the war, from a largely British-sponsored Master Plan in the early years, to an American-sponsored Strategic Plan toward the war's close. A number of fundamental policy disagreements between Churchill and FDR helped to effect this transition, and to determine decisive events in the history of Europe, during and after World War II.
