reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


A different story of WWII - the story of the political thinking and strategies about how to treat Germany and how to divide Europe and the spoils of war once Germany has been defeated. A story of big personalities - Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill and then Truman at the end of the war. Interesting insights into how Roosevelt governed - thought of today as a great president but at the time, insiders thought he was disorganized and a poor manager. Anyone who likes organizational issues, politics, WWII, will find this a good book.
