Andrew Roberts

Masters and Commanders (eBook, ePUB)

The Military Geniuses Who Led The West To Victory In World War II

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Masters and Commanders describes how four titanic figures shaped the grand strategy of the West during the Second World War. Each was exceptionally tough-willed and strong minded, and each was certain that he knew best how to win the war. Yet each knew that he had to win at least two of the others over in order to get his strategy adopted. The book traces the mutual suspicion and admiration, the rebuffs and the charm, the often explosive disagreements and wary reconciliations which resulted.
