| Summary, Etc. |
"Two military legends forged an unlikely friendship as they stood shoulder to shoulder to bring down Adolf Hitler. Their armies victorious, they joined forces again to lead the West into a strange new world in which human survival depended on preserving a precarious peace. From World War to Cold War, Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower cherished a heartfelt friendship even as the nations they loved drifted apart in a time of fallen empires and the threat of nuclear annihilation. This friendship was the axle around which the invasions of North Africa and Italy, the D-Day landings, and the conquest of Germany revolved. After the guns fell silent, each man guided his homeland through a new and more menacing struggle against Josef Stalin's communist empire. Told through extensive research, including the words of Eisenhower, Churchill, and their close associates, Ike and Winston reveals an affectionate bond forged in war and nurtured in peace"-- Provided by publisher.
