Ranging from intimate personal greetings to weighty salvos about diplomacy and strategy, this book offers fascinating new revelations of the political machinations and human stories behind the Allied triumvirate.

In 1941, Winston Churchill publicly expressed the idea that at the end of the war the entire leadership of the Nazi regime should be brought to trial.

This agreement was ratified at the Teheran Conference in 1943 and the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences in 1945.
