Andrew Roberts

'History as it should be written; a gripping narrative' MICHAEL GOVE, MAIL ON SUNDAY, BOOKS OF THE YEAR During the Second World War the master strategy of the West was shaped by four titanic figures: Churchill and Roosevelt, and their respective military commanders - General Sir Alan Brooke and General George C. Marshall. Each man was tough-willed and strong minded. And each was certain he knew best how to achieve victory. Drawing on previously unpublished material, including for the first time verbatim reports of Churchill's War Cabinet meetings, Andrew Roberts's acclaimed history recreates with vivid immediacy the fiery debates and political manoeuvrings, the rebuffs and the charm, the explosive rows and dramatic reconciliations, as the masters and commanders of the Western Alliance fought each other over the best way to fight Adolf Hitler.

He also tells a profoundly human story' LAURENCE REES, SUNDAY TIMES 'A masterpiece' CHRISTOPHER SILVESTER, DAILY EXPRESS 'Britain's finest contemporary military historian' ECONOMIST, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
