Mientras Alemania, la Unión Soviética, el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos sostenían la mayor contienda armada de la historia, sus respectivos líderes -Hitler, Stalin, Churchill y Roosevelt- se entregaron también a un intenso duelo mental. Mediante una técnica narrativa brillante, esta obra cuenta la historia de esta batalla privada, una sucesión de pugnas personales en las que la victoria se alcanzó mediante el engaño, la fascinación, la lisonja y la mentira.

El Corazon del Conflicto, 1939-1945

Amos de la Guerra

With innovative style and thorough scholarship, Warlords tells the story of World War II through the eyes and minds of its four great leaders-Adolf Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. While their nations battled in the field, these warlords of the twentieth century waged a private war of the mind. From Whitehall and Washington to the Wolf's Lair and the Kremlin, Warlords documents their psychological battles and the attempts to outthink and outfight one another. Like a cinematic thriller, rapidly cutting from one man to the next, the narrative reveals each leader as they face history's greatest conflict-and each other.

An Extraordinary Re-creation of World War II through the Eyes and Minds of Hitler, Churchill, Roosev

Warlords

WARLORDS recreates in forensic and gripping detail the extraordinary mind games between Churchill, Hitler, Stalin and Roosevelt as World War Two unfolded day by day. Why did Hitler make a deal in August 1939 with his sworn enemy Stalin? Was it always his intention to double-cross the Russian? Or was Operation Barbarossa forced on Hitler because he'd failed to bring Churchill to heel? What was going on in Roosevelt's mind as Churchill stood alone against Hitler? Did he always intend to bring America into the war, as Churchill pleaded with him to do? Or was his real plan for Britain to do the fighting, backed by American money - a plan that was disrupted only by Pearl Harbour? And in the war's endgame, did the two great leaders of the West failed to understand Stalin's intentions; or did they have no choice but to concede half of Europe to him? "Gripping, innovative and perceptive... It reads like a thriller but it is also a scholarly, impeccably researched piece of work... superlative." - Tribune "Fascinating insights into the minds of these titans." - Daily Mail
