Yet, in retrospect, they take on a new level of diplomatic significance, demonstrating just how influential a foreign leader can become in shaping American foreign policy. Drawing on years of research, Robert Schmuhl not only contextualises the days Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower spent together, but also vividly portrays the individual characters, from Churchill himself—a devoted fisherman who never stopped “angling”—to a resentful Eleanor Roosevelt. Evoking an era far different from today, Mr. Churchill in the White House becomes an insightful work for our own fractious times.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 163mmItem Width: 36mmItem Weight: 661gAuthor: Robert SchmuhlGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Military History, HistoryType: BritainRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
