Description

Based on years of archival research and interviews with the last surviving aides and Roosevelt family members, 'The Mantle of Command' offers a radical new perspective on Franklin Delano Roosevelt's masterful - and underappreciated - leadership of the Allied war effort. After the disaster at Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt devised a global strategy that would save Churchill and the British and defeat Hitler and the Japanese. As Nigel Hamilton's account reaches its climax and U.S. forces conduct Operation Torch - the successful invasion of French Northwest Africa - the tide of war turns in the Allies' favour, and FDR's genius for military command is clear. This intimate, sweeping look at a great President in history's greatest conflict is gripping, essential reading. AUTHOR: Nigel Hamilton is a bestselling and award-winning biographer of President John F. Kennedy, General Bernard "Monty" Montgomery, and President Bill Clinton, among other subjects. He is a Senior Fellow in the McCormack Graduate School, University of Massachusetts-Boston, and first president of the Biographers International Organization (BIO). 50 photographs
