Giles MiltonThe Stalin Affair: The Impossible Alliance That Won the War
They had nothing in common to facilitate agreement and were, in fact, profoundly different. Yet Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt were compelled to cooperate to defeat their common enemy, Hitler. Drawing on numerous previously unpublished sources, Giles Milton's book recounts in detail how the three "Big" leaders managed to coordinate their actions. A fresh, vivid, and gripping narrative by the author of many bestsellers.
