In January 1943, Churchill and FDR met for ten days in French Morocco, following the successful landings in North East Africa in November 1942 (Operation Torch). The main issues were what to do next, and how to prioritize the War against Germany/Italy and Japan. A major side issue was how to deal with the "Free French" and General de Gaulle and General Giraud.

What comes across most strongly is that the British came loaded for Bear while Roosevelt seems to have planned to "wing-it" and depend on his ability to manipulate people using his personality. In the end the British got practically everything they wanted and the American left looking like some hayseed from the country.

This was an informative book packed full with little known facts. I truly enjoyed this! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the sneak peek in exchange for my honest review.

Well researched novel of this true account in history. I really wished this was an audiobook. The drama was unyielding and would have made a great story to listen to.

Glad NetGalley is offering more historical books.
