Description: War Summits : The Meetings That Shaped World War II and the Postwar World by David Stone (2005, HardcoverSynopsisMost of World War II's key events have been exhaustively documented and analyzed during the past sixty years, together with virtually every aspect of the lives and actions of the political leaders, the generals, and the millions of military and civilian personnel involved. However, the vital process that provided the political and strategic framework to enable them to direct the war - the Allied war summits - has not been considered in recent times. Comprehensive and authoritative, War Summitscharts the problems and the compromises, the discussions and the negotiations, the successes and the failures of the U.S., British, and Soviet allies from 1941 to 1945. David Stone highlights the sometimes less than altruistic national agendas, the well-founded doubts and uncertainties, and the recurring suspicions of Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin and their advisers. And Stone relates the strategic planning process directly to its impact upon events on the battlefield and, finally, to the way in which the whole post-1945 world - including the United Nations, the nuclear dimension, and the impending Cold War - was directly shaped by the war summits' process. Political and military historians, political leaders involved with foreign affairs and strategic planning, professional military personnel, and general readers of modern history will find this work of compelling interest.,The war summits between the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union had an impact on the course of World War II and the shape of the subsequent peace that was perhaps as significant as the fighting itself. In this work, Stone (a former British Army infantry officer) provides a narrative account of all of the major summits from 1941 to 19Product IdentifiersISBN-10157488901XISBN-139781574889017eBay Product ID (ePID)44395940Key DetailsAuthorDavid StoneNumber Of Pages326 pagesFormatHardcoverPublication Date2005-04-30LanguageEnglishPublisherPotomac Books, IncorporatedPublication Year2005Additional DetailsCopyright Date2005IllustratedYesDimensionsWidth6 In.Length9 In.Target AudienceGroupTradeClassification MethodLCCN2004-065029LC Classification NumberD748.S77 2005Dewey Decimal940.53/22Dewey Edition22
