A unique look at the complex relationship between two of America?s foremost World War II leaders

As Mark Perry charts the crucial impact of this duo on victory in World War II and later as they lay the foundation for triumph in the Cold War, he shows us an unlikely, complex collaboration at the heart of decades of successful American foreign policy?and shatters many of the myths that have evolved about these two great men and the issues that tested their alliance. As exciting to read as it is vitally informative, this work is a signal accomplishment.

    Really helps to understand the relationship between these two figures. Like other books from an American perspective, it makes me want to go back and read Churchill's WWII series; this book gives you a feel for all the tensions involved. As Churchill said, "the only thing worse than fighting a war with allies is fighting a war without allies!"
