It tells a very interesting story, starting in January 1942 and ending in June 1945. I felt I knew most of what the book said--not because I lived through those years, but because so much of the discussion of those years is common knowledge carefully outlined in this book. In general Feis paints a picture I agree with--fairly pro-Roosevelt In a way. Since we won the Cold War, it all seems less momentous now than it did when this book was written in 1957. One wishes FDR had been tougher, but maybe things would have been worse if we had pushed Russia more. Al in all, it is a fascinating time and this rather massive (660 pages) book was well worth reading. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
This is the story of the great coalition formed by the United States, Great Britain, and Soviet Russia to combat the Axis in World War II. Mr. Feis traces the ideas and purposes that governed each member of this alliance, and the gradual separation between the West and Russia as victory over Germany was achieved. While adding new information and new interpretation, Mr. Feis comprehends this "one war and three wills" as a whole, relating diplomacy and strategy to each other against the background of circumstance. The acts and characteristics of the dominating figures-Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin-emerge in new historical perspective as the story tells what they did and why. The narrative begins early in 1941 as the coalition is emerging and ends after the collapse of Germany in 1945. Among the dements arc: the early grasping of the Soviet government for territorial claims; the continuous discussion over strategy; the dramatic difficulties with the Soviet authorities over control of Italy, Poland, and Rumania; the variations in the plans for Germany, including dismemberment; the Casablanca, Moscow, Cairo, Teheran, and Yalta conferences; the spreading disquiet over Soviet intentions in Europe and the Far East.Originally published in 1966.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
