Three Days at the Brink is a masterpiece: elegantly written, brilliantly conceived, and impeccably researched. This book not only sparkles but is destined to be a classic!” —Jay Winik, bestselling author\n\nFrom the #1 bestselling author and award-winning anchor of Special Report with Bret Baier, comes the\ngripping lost history of the Tehran Conference, where FDR, Churchill, and\nStalin plotted D-Day and the Second World War’s endgame. With the fate of World\nWar II in doubt and rumors of a Nazi assassination plot swirling, Franklin\nRoosevelt risked everything at a clandestine meeting that would change the\ncourse of history.\nNovember 1943: The Nazis and their Axis allies controlled nearly\nthe entire European continent. Japan dominated the Pacific. Allied successes at\nSicily and Guadalcanal had gained them modest ground but at an extraordinary\ncost. On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army had been bled white. The path of\nhistory walked a knife’s edge.\nThat same month a daring gambit was hatched that would alter\neverything. The \"Big Three\"—Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill,\nand Joseph Stalin—secretly met for the first time to chart a strategy for\ndefeating Adolf Hitler. Over three days in Tehran, Iran, this trio—strange\nbedfellows united by their mutual responsibility as heads of the Allied\npowers—made essential decisions that would direct the final years of the war\nand its aftermath. Meanwhile, looming over the covert meeting was the possible\nthreat of a Nazi assassination plot, code-named Operation Long Jump.\nBefore they left Tehran, the three leaders agreed to open a\nsecond front in the West, spearheaded by Operation Overload and the D-Day\ninvasion of France at Normandy the following June. They also discussed what\nmight come after the war, including dividing Germany and establishing the\nUnited Nations—plans that laid the groundwork for the postwar world order and\nthe Cold War.\nBestselling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier’s new epic history, Three Days at the Brink, centers on these\ncrucial days in Tehran, the medieval Persian city on the edge of the desert.\nBaier makes clear the importance of Roosevelt, who stood apart as the sole\nleader of a democracy, recognizing him as the lead strategist for the globe’s\nfuture—the one man who could ultimately allow or deny the others their place in\nhistory.\n\n\n\nWith new details discovered in rarely seen transcripts, oral\nhistories, and declassified State Department and presidential documents from\nthe Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Baier illuminates the complex character of\nRoosevelt, revealing a man who grew into his role and accepted the greatest\nchallenge any American president since Lincoln had faced.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062905686\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0062905686.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Baier, Bret|Whitney, Catherine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
