读过 The Grand Alliance 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
这本涉及到的内容基本是英、美、苏逐渐达成同盟的部分，不过能说“逐渐”的大概主要是前苏联，丘吉尔笔下的斯大林军事头脑非常老辣、情绪却像小孩一样非常外化藏不住事儿……说是Grand Alliance，说是“胜利已经有了保障”，实际上却是英国在各个战场上一直在输、登陆时间一直被迫延后，甚至丘吉尔本人的领袖地位也岌岌可危，读起来都替他提心吊胆的
The Grand Alliance [Book] Google Books
The British, Soviets, and Americans unite in this chapter of the six-volume WWII history by the legendary prime minister and Nobel Prize recipient.
The Grand Alliance describes the end of an extraordinary period in British military history, in which Britain stood alone against Germany. Two crucial events brought an end to Britain's isolation. First was Hitler's decision to attack the Soviet Union, opening up a battle front in the East and forcing Stalin to look to the British for support. The second was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. US support had long been crucial to the British war effort, and here, Winston Churchill documents his efforts to draw the Americans to aid, including correspondence with President Roosevelt.
This book is part of the six-volume account of World War II told from the unique viewpoint of a British prime minister who led his nation in the fight against tyranny. In addition to the correspondence with FDR, the series is enriched with extensive primary sources. We are presented with not only Churchill's retrospective analysis of the war, but also memos, letters, orders, speeches, and telegrams, day-by-day accounts of reactions as the drama intensifies. Throughout these volumes, we listen as strategies and counterstrategies unfold in response to Hitler's conquest of Europe, planned invasion of England, and assault on Russia, in a mesmerizing account of the crucial decisions made as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
