The definitive biography of FDR's leadership during WWII, presented here in a single volume—"splendid . . . the memoir Roosevelt didn't get to write" (New York Times Book Review).
This groundbreaking, three-volume study of President Roosevelt's role as Commander in Chief tells the story of World War II from his perspective. Using hitherto unpublished documents and interviews, Hamilton rewrites the famous account of Allied strategy given by Winston Churchill in his memoirs.
Hamilton reveals, close-up and in dramatic detail, Roosevelt's mastery of strategy, his vision, and how he overcame resistance from Churchill and his own generals to set the course for victory. Mantle of Command, Commander in Chief, and War and Peace have been celebrated as "masterly" (The Wall Street Journal).
"A first-class, lens-changing work." —James N. Mattis, former US secretary of defense
