From the critically acclaimed and bestselling author of Troublesome Young Men, this highly anticipated follow-up tells the inside story of the WWII Anglo-American alliance. Widely praised in hardcover by Jon Meacham, Tom Brokaw, Walter Isaacson, Chris Matthews, and others, this New York Times extended list and IndieBound bestseller netted 35,000 copies in five printings in its hardcover edition. This wonderfully readable World War II history brings to life the development of America's crucial wartime alliance with England that became so decisive in defeating Hitler. Olson builds a dramatic narrative by focusing on the leading role played by three dynamic American men--Averell Harriman, Edward R. Murrow, and John Gilbert Winant--in forging the two countries' special relationship.
