Produktbeschreibung

The "gripping and powerfully argued" final volume in the acclaimed 3-part biography of FDR at war-proving that he was the key strategist of WWII (New York Times Book Review). Nigel Hamilton's celebrated trilogy culminates with a story of triumph and tragedy. In the spring of 1944, FDR oversaw the historic success of the D-day landings he had championed, just as he was found to be mortally ill. Yet even in the face of his own mortality, Roosevelt was the architect of a victorious peacethat he would not live to witness. Using hitherto unpublished documents and interviews, Hamilton rewrites the famous account of World War II strategy given by Winston Churchill in his memoirs. Seventy-five years after the D-day landings we finally get to see, close-up and in dramatic detail, who was responsible for rescuing, and insisting upon, the great American-led invasion of France in June 1944, and why the invasion was led by Eisenhower. As FDR's D-day triumph turns to personal tragedy, we watch the course of the disease, and how the dying president attempted-at Hawaii, Quebec, and Yalta-to prepare the United Nations for an American-backed postwar world order. Now we know: even on his deathbed, FDR was the war's great visionary. "A first-class, lens-changing work." -James N. Mattis, former US secretary of defense
