The author ably navigates this complicated narrative, and readers with an interest in political and military history will find it to be an engaging, colorful read. Milton mixes personal details with historical sweep to tell a significant tale.”
—Kirkus
“At a time when Moscow and Washington stand again at a perilous crossroads, Giles Milton looks back to the brief period when America and the Soviet Union were on the same side during the Second World War. The burgeoning 1940s 'Special Relationship' with Britain is rightly well-known and perhaps well-understood, but Milton's 'in the room' account of the personalities of Moscow sheds much needed light on the other great alliance intent on defeating Hitler. He also reminds us why this most unlikely coalition did not—and could not—survive victory.”
—Sonia Purnell, New York Times bestselling author of A Woman of No Importance
“Another roller-coaster ride from Giles Milton. Endlessly surprising.”
—Anthony Horowitz, New York Times bestselling author of Magpie Murders
“Giles Milton has mined new information to portray a convincing account of the relationship between the Second World War’s ‘Big Three’. This book might read like the screenplay of a gripping movie, yet every word is accurate and verified.”
—Andrew Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Churchill Walking with Destiny
