Chargement... Commander in Chief: FDR's Battle with Churchill, 1943 (2016)par Nigel Hamilton
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() An analytical and well-written look at the decision-making process for the Allies as the US builds momentum and assumes the leadership role. Two of history's most important war leaders, Churchill and Roosevelt support and challenge each other as they build the teams and global strategies for final victory. England was out of men, yet expected that their longer experience should lead the Allies end game and re-establish the British Empire to its former glory. FDR, rightfully, demands that US generals will lead the way and makes the right choice in Eisenhower. Hamilton provides an interesting counterpoint to the Allied perspective with apt excerpts from Goebbels diary. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Nigel Hamilton's Mantle of Command drew on years of archival research and interviews to portray FDR in a tight close up, as he determined Allied strategy in the crucial initial phases of World War II. Commander in Chief reveals the astonishing sequel--suppressed by Winston Churchill in his memoirs--of Roosevelt's battles with Churchill to maintain that strategy. Roosevelt knew that the Allies should take Sicily but avoid a wider battle in southern Europe, building experience but saving strength to invade France in early 1944. Churchill seemed to agree at Casablanca--only to undermine his own generals and the Allied command, testing Roosevelt's patience to the limit. Churchill was afraid of the invasion planned for Normandy, and pushed instead for disastrous fighting in Italy, thereby almost losing the war for the Allies. In a dramatic showdown, FDR finally set the ultimate course for victory by making the ultimate threat. Commander in Chief shows FDR in top form at a crucial time in the modern history of the West."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
