The Instant New York Times Bestseller"I could not put this extraordinary book down. Three Days at the Brink is a masterpiece: elegantly written, brilliantly conceived, and impeccably researched. This book not only sparkles but is destined to be a classic!? ?Jay Winik, bestselling authorFrom the #1 bestselling author and award-winning anchor of Special Report with Bret Baier, comes thegripping lost history of the Tehran Conference, where FDR, Churchill, andStalin plotted D-Day and the Second World War?s endgame. With the fate of WorldWar II in doubt and rumors of a Nazi assassination plot swirling, FranklinRoosevelt risked everything at a clandestine meeting that would change thecourse of history.November 1943: The Nazis and their Axis allies controlled nearlythe entire European continent. Japan dominated the Pacific. Allied successes atSicily and Guadalcanal had gained them modest ground but at an extraordinarycost. On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army had been bled white. The path ofhistory walked a knife?s edge.That same month a daring gambit was hatched that would altereverything. The "Big Three"?Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill,and Joseph Stalin?secretly met for the first time to chart a strategy fordefeating Adolf Hitler. Over three days in Tehran, Iran, this trio?strangebedfellows united by their mutual responsibility as heads of the Alliedpowers?made essential decisions that would direct the final years of the warand its aftermath. Meanwhile, looming over the covert meeting was the possiblethreat of a Nazi assassination plot, code-named Operation Long Jump. Before they left Tehran, the three leaders agreed to open asecond front in the West, spearheaded by Operation Overload and the D-Dayinvasion of France at Normandy the following June. They also discussed whatmight come after the war, including dividing Germany and establishing theUnited Nations?plans that laid the groundwork for the postwar world order andthe Cold War.Bestselling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier?s new epic history, Three Days at the Brink, centers on thesecrucial days in Tehran, the medieval Persian city on the edge of the desert.Baier makes clear the importance of Roosevelt, who stood apart as the soleleader of a democracy, recognizing him as the lead strategist for the globe?sfuture?the one man who could ultimately allow or deny the others their place inhistory.With new details discovered in rarely seen transcripts, oralhistories, and declassified State Department and presidential documents fromthe Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Baier illuminates the complex character ofRoosevelt, revealing a man who grew into his role and accepted the greatestchallenge any American president since Lincoln had faced.…
