À propos de cet audio

 During World War II, the Allied leaders banded together, forged a great victory--and created a new and dangerous post-war world.
In the summer of 1941, Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt's trusted advisor, arrived in Moscow to assess whether the US should send aid to Russia as it had to Britain. Unofficially, he was there to determine whether Josef Stalin--the man who had killed over six million Ukrainians during the 1930s--was worth saving.
In this riveting and sweeping narrative, author John Kelly chronicles the turbulent wartime relationship between the great leaders--Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin--and military commanders of America, Britain, and the Soviet Union. Faced with the greatest challenge of the century, the Allied leaders and their war managers struggled against a common enemy--and each other. The story behind how victory was forged is an epic story, rich in drama, passion and larger-than-life personalities. The Allies eventually triumphed, but at what cost?
Using his trademark character-rich writing style and focusing on unique, unknown, and unexplored aspects of the story, Kelly offers a fresh perspective on the decision-making that changed the course of the war--and the course of history.
Saving Stalin brings to vivid life the epic story of the century's greatest human catastrophe. It is an unforgettable master work in historical narrative.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"John Kelly is a master at bringing historical figures to life, and in Saving Stalin he has the most compelling cast of the twentieth century. Of all the evocative details, I'll never forget Stalin scratching out a doodle of wolves roaming the tundra whenever he felt nervous."—David Maraniss, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good American Family: The Red Scare and My Father
"Earlier John Kelly wrote about the first days of World War II. Now he writes about its end--and about the making of the post-war world. This is narrative history at its finest."—John M. Barry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Great Influenza
"A well-rendered popular history describing war and great men."—Kirkus Reviews
"A vivid look at the relationship between Allied leaders of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union... from the author of the highly acclaimed book The Great Mortality, about the Black Death of 1348."—New York Post, selected as one of the Best Books of the Fall
"Historian Kelly offers a solid look at the evolving relationships among FDR, Churchill, and Stalin that led to their cooperation to defeat Germany in WW II,... details the high level discussions among Allied leaders,... and is particularly good at conveying how victory over Hitler was far from inevitable. [Saving Stalin offers] a firm grasp of the histories and personalities involved."—Publishers Weekly

The hope in picking up this title was to get some more insight into the decisions and negotiations leading to Allied support of the Soviet war effort in WW2. It partially delivered on that, although any semi-serious WW2 history buff will be familiar with most of the narrative. But there was a more detailed presentation of the drama behind some of the key conferences, and the boozy dinners that accompanied them. The constant Soviet push for a Second Front and the jockeying for post-war position were well-presented. I would have enjoyed more discussion on lend-lease and other direct aid to the Soviets and the impact that had when Soviet prospects were at their nadir. Also, being Canadian, I would have appreciated more comment on the extent to which the cataclysmic Dieppe raid was linked to diplomatic trade-offs around a Second Front.

Enjoyable but not much new
