Nigel Hamilton
To mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the stirring climax to Nigel Hamilton's three-part saga of FDR at war - proof that he was WWII's key strategist, even on his deathbed. Nigel Hamilton's celebrated trilogy culminates with a story of triumph and tragedy. Just as FDR was proven right by the D-day landings he had championed, so was he found to be mortally ill in the spring of 1944. He was the architect of a victorious peace that 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 Using hitherto unpublished documents and interviews, Hamilton rewrites the famous account of World War II strategy given by Winston Churchill in his memoirs.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 with heartbreaking compassion the course of the disease, and how, in the months left him as US commander in chief, 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.

Great, great book spoiled by awkward narration

The narration took some getting used to. It was “sing song” like and detracted from the author’s words. Another narrator was used in one of the other books in the series. His work was far better.
Good but not complete! Not a fan of the reader.

Final Volume of FDR at War the Most Fascinating
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Nigel Hamilton goes a long way to refine this rather harsh view of FDR. He presents Roosevelt much as William Manchester n others present Churchill - flawed but Masterful. It was definitely worth it to read the trilogy to seem him presented in this light and to see some of his more egregious late War missteps in light of his incredibly poor health n not as signs of his arrogance or ignorance. I must warn all the Churchill devotees that the Author is pretty merciless is his depiction of Churchill especially in the third volume. I’m not sure Nigel Hamilton got that part totally correct but he uses primary source material to back up his assertions just like the books on Churchill do. So this trilogy helps level the playing field for me. It’s a good reminder that using the same source material base Historian’s can put someone on a pedestal or knock them off a pedestal.
