Mehso-so

This is the 2nd of Nigel Hamilton's books on FDR. It looks at 1943 - the year of many conferences between the world leaders. As such it looks in depth at the relationship between FDR & Churchill. While Hamilton undoubtedly serves to correct narratives that saw FDR as a more passive player, he does so at the expense of Churchill. FDR is seen as the mastermind while Churchill takes credit. The 1st book "Mantle of Command" is better. #Churchill #FDR
