Hardback. Zustand: Good. Roosevelt, Churchill, De Gaulle. They held the destiny of the Free World in their Allied hands as Nazi forces stormed through Europe in the 1940s. In public, these three extraordinarily powerful men stood firmly together against Hitler. They inspired their troops and gave their nations confidence in the prospect of victory. History has made of them giants of diplomacy and unparalleled masters of strategy. Yet, in private, their relations with each other were marked by turbulence, distrust, duplicity, and ruthlessness, as this new volume in the annals of World War II history dramatically shows. A tie-in with a joint BBC/PBS special scheduled for American television in the fall, this revelatory chronicle by Simon Berthon documents an antipathy that would significantly color Allied policy and alter the postwar relations of France with Britain and America. Throughout the war in Europe, Berthon shows, Churchill and Roosevelt stood at odds with the imposing and, to them, "unreliable, uncooperative, and disloyal" Free French leader Charles De Gaulleto the extent that they kept the Anglo-American invasion of North Africa a secret from him and sought an alternative commander. And even as late as 1943, Roosevelt supported the oppressive and collaborative Vichy government based on misinformation fed to him about De Gaulle. Probingly, with access to official archives never before available, Berthon explores an alliance as it turns profoundly sour and shows how De Gaulle not only heroically held his ground in the cause of a Free France but ultimately implemented against the "Anglo-Saxon powers" his own revenge.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. Carroll & Graf, 2001, New York. Hard Cover. Book condition: Very fine. Dust jacket condition: As New. Stated "First Carroll & Graf edition 2001", unknown printing due to absence of a number line. Hardcover in unclipped dustjacket. 9-1/4" tall, 354 numbered pages includes "Notes on Sources", "Archive Sources" and "Index". This book is nearly pristine: it is square, spotlessly clean, free of corner bumps and edge dings with undamaged spine ends; there is a 3/4" x 1/8" discoloration on bottom of rear board; hinges are strong. The interior is perfectly clean and completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and any sort of paper damage. Not remaindered or ex-library. The dust jacket is clean and free of tears, scratches, scrapes, and fading; jacket is now protected by mylar jacket. There is no price on the jacket, suggesting maybe a BCE; but there is nothing on the jacket to suggest such a situation nor is there any 'slug' on the rear board, so I am rather confident in saying that this is not a Book Club edition. An examination of the tensions, dislikes, frustrations and utter ruthlessness among the Allied leaders.…
