Hopkins could take the political risks his boss could not, and proved crucial to maintaining personal relations among the Big Three. Beloved by some--such as Churchill, who believed that Hopkins \"always went to the root of the matter\"--and trusted by most--including the paranoid Stalin--there were nevertheless those who resented the influence of \"the White House Rasputin.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on newly available sources, \u003cem\u003eThe Hopkins Touch\u003c\/em\u003e is an absorbing, substantial work that offers a fresh perspective on the World War II era and the Allied leaders, through the life of the man who kept them on point until the war was won.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199891955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/03\/2012 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David L.
