The Allies

Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, and the Unlikely Alliance That Won World War II

De: Winston Groom

Narrado por: George Guidall

Best-selling author Winston Groom tells the complex story of how Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin - the three iconic and vastly different Allied leaders - aligned to win World War II and created a new world order.

By the end of World War II, 59 nations were arrayed against the Axis powers, but three great Allied leaders - Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin - had emerged to control the war in Europe and the Pacific. Vastly different in upbringing and political beliefs, they were not always in agreement - or even on good terms. But, often led by Churchill's enduring spirit, in the end, these three men changed the course of history.

Using the remarkable letters between the three world leaders, enriching narrative details of their personal lives, and riveting tales of battles won and lost, best-selling historian Winston Groom returns to share one of the biggest stories of the 20th century: the interwoven and remarkable tale, and a fascinating study of leadership styles, of three world leaders who fought the largest war in history.

Great book! Well done.

History that is also entertaining! Look forward to another book from the author. Soon I hope.

Excellent writing and performance

I would call this a great book, not just good. This is due to its artful, well paced narrative. There are a few significant errors. The author shocks us with the description of Russian murder, rape, and mayhem in Berlin at the end of the war without mentioning that the far greater horrors the germans imposed on innocent Russian civilians, many, many multiples of the Russian crimes in Berlin. He sets the number of Russians murdered at 8 million while modern scholarship puts it at 25 million. A really fine book and I will look for others by the same author, Winston Groom.

More intriguing than fiction

From birth to death of three of the most powerful men of the twentieth century.

Fantastic!

Loved it. Absolutely fantastic narrative story telling. Seamless transitioning between character, time and place. Pleasure to read.

Engaging and well written

At first I thought this was going to be a snoozer.
Not at all.
Insight into all three men as pertaining to WWI and WWII.
This book kept me
Looking to go research other areas of WWII and each of the leaders individually.
Informative and engaging.
