of the Fall
"A well-rendered popular history describing war and great
men."--Kirkus Reviews
"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
"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
"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
"John Kelly, who has previously written narrative histories of the
Black Death, the Irish famine, and the early stages of the Second
World War, engagingly revisits the turbulent and often strained
relationships between the U.S., Britain, and Soviet Russia in their
war against Nazi Germany and her Axis partners in his new book
Saving Stalin."
--Francis P. Sempa, New York Journal of Books
"This well researched history tracks the course of World War II ...
and details the ebb and flow in relations among Stalin, FDR,
Churchill and other allies. Saving Stalin offers a thoughtful
analysis of the compromises leaders made to win a war. It covers in
great detail Operation Overlord, which Stalin had been pushing for
and Churchill wanted control over....John Kelly chronicles the
turbulent wartime relationship between Britain, America and the
Soviet Union with a unique focus on the unknown and unexplored
aspects of the story."--BookReporter
