Mattis, former United States Secretary of Defense \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nigel Hamilton's celebrated trilogy culminates with a story of triumph and tragedy. Just as FDR was proven right by the D-day landings he had championed, so was he found to be mortally ill in the spring of 1944. He was the architect of a victorious peace that he would not live to witness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using hitherto unpublished documents and interviews, Hamilton rewrites the famous account of World War II strategy given by Winston Churchill in his memoirs. Seventy-five years after the D-day landings we finally get to see, close-up and in dramatic detail, who was responsible for rescuing, and insisting upon, the great American-led invasion of France in June 1944, and why the invasion was led by Eisenhower. As FDR's D-day triumph turns to personal tragedy, we watch with heartbreaking compassion the course of the disease, and how, in the months left him as US commander in chief, the dying president attempted at Hawaii, Quebec, and Yalta to prepare the United Nations for an American-backed postwar world order. Now we know: even on his deathbed, FDR was the war's great visionary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544876804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2019 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nigel Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638506057884,"sku":"9780544876804","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_58e754ad-a0a9-496b-9ac1-92c55f87cf33.jpg?v=1603847453","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/war-and-peace-volume-3-fdrs-final-odyssey-d-day-to-yalta-1943-1945-9780544876804","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
