Best-selling author Winston Groom's riveting narrative tells the complex story of Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin's alliance to win World War II and create a new world order.

By the end of World War II, 59 nations were arrayed against the axis powers. But three great Allied leaders--Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin--had emerged to control the war in Europe and the Pacific. Vastly different in upbringing and political beliefs, they were not always in agreement, or even on good terms. But, often led by Churchill's enduring spirit, these three men, with their vastly different leadership styles, changed the course of history. Using the remarkable correspondence 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 of three world leaders who fought the largest war in history.

Praise for The Allies

"...one of America's great storytellers, Winston Groom paints a vivid portrait of men caught between the vise jaws of military necessity and political reality. Anecdotes about their personal lives, such as Stalin's tumultuous family relationships and FDR's struggle with polio, bring color to leaders we remember through black-and white photographs and newsreels. Churchill is a character tailor-made for Mr. Groom's style, and he captures the English lion's genius for inspiration in bold, beautiful strokes... It is the writing that gives "The Allies" its elemental charm. At its best, Mr. Groom tells an enthralling story of three nations, each wary of the others, and of three men who set aside deep differences for a common cause." -The Wall Street Journal
