Franklin and Winston An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship

As two of history's most towering leaders, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill shared a close friendship, which was instrumental in defeating tyranny and piloting the free world to victory in World War II. In Franklin and Winston, Jon Meacham shows the deep, intense, and sometimes complicated nature of a relationship that flourished amid cataclysmic global events and occasionally competing national interests. Theirs was a kind of love story with an emotional Churchill courting an elusive Roosevelt. Through the use of new sources-including unpublished letters from Roosevelt's great secret love, Lucy Rutherfurd, and interviews with those who spent time in the company of Churchill and FDR-Meacham sheds fresh light on the characters of both men and how their alliance helped mold the world of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Brimming with potent insights and revelations, Franklin and Winston is the definitive account of the most remarkable friendship of the modern age.Meacham, Jon is the author of 'Franklin and Winston An Intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship', published 2004 under ISBN 9780812972825 and ISBN 0812972821.
