  • Leaders of World War II

    Stewart Ross

    Library Binding (Raintree, May 1, 2001)
    Leaders of World War II features the biographies of the key figures of that conflict. Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, Josef Stalin, General Hideki Tojo-- these were the men whose crucial decisions not only determined the outcome of World War II but shaped the future of the modern world. What were these men like? What were their plans and ambitions? What made Hitler and Stalin so cruel, yet so charismatic? How did Churchill stay so strong in the early years of the war when Britain stood alone against Germany? And how did generals such as Dwight Eisenhower and Georgi Zhukov win the war? In addition to exploring the true nature of leadership, the stories of these fascinating men give us a vital and interesting perspective on World War II.
