But often led by Churchills enduring spirit in the end these three men changed the course of history. Using the remarkable letters between the three world leaders enriching narrative details of their personal lives and riveting tales of battles won and lost best-selling historian Winston Groom returns to share one of the biggest stories of the 20th century: The interwoven and remarkable tale and a fascinating study of leadership styles of three world leaders who fought the largest war in history.
