Excellent book! Amazing how the authors are able to create some suspense in a historical book! Very good explanation of the interplay of the military and political leaders who were involved during World War II. They include Stalin, Churchill, Hitler, Roosevelt, Truman, and many famous American, British, and German generals. They were all unique, brilliant in many ways, but seemed to have character flaws. O'Reilly and Dugan are able to make caricatures of these famous individuals by describing their daily habits, family and extramarital affairs -- but done in fairly short, to-the-point descriptions. It wasn't a long book, and kept my interest throughout. I really liked the "afterword" at the end that described what happened to most of the characters mentioned in the book.
