Trei zile de foc. Roosevelt și întâlnirea de la Teheran

This book traces the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It also looks at his role in the 1943 Tehran talks. He met Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin there in secret. This was their first meeting as a group. It lasted three days in November. They sought a plan to defeat Hitler. They also spoke about the future of Europe. Their choices shaped the war’s last years and what came next.

The book blends Roosevelt’s life with the history of the war. It is for general readers keen to learn about the Allied leaders and their talks. Bret Baier and Catherine Whitney show the war’s high cost. Nazi Germany and its Axis partners still held most of Europe. Japan still held sway in the Pacific. The Allies had made gains in the Mediterranean and at Guadalcanal. They had gained ground on the Eastern Front too. All these gains had come at great cost.

The book looks at Roosevelt’s character and his work in politics. It traces his path to success at Tehran. The three leaders and their aides held talks about Europe after the war. The book looks at these talks in depth.

Bret Baier is a journalist. He uses seldom-read transcripts, or written records of speech. He also draws on oral histories. He uses US State Department files once kept secret. He draws on presidents’ papers at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library too. These records show the grave test Roosevelt faced in the war. A.A. Ionescu translated this edition from English.
