"I could not put this extraordinary book down. Three Days at the Brink is a masterpiece: elegantly written, brilliantly conceived, and impeccably researched. This book not only sparkles but is destined to be a classic! Jay Winik, bestselling author
From the #1 bestselling author and award-winning anchor of Special Report with Bret Baier, comes the
gripping lost history of the Tehran Conference, where FDR, Churchill, and
Stalin plotted D-Day and the Second World War's endgame. With the fate of World
War II in doubt and rumors of a Nazi assassination plot swirling, Franklin
Roosevelt risked everything at a clandestine meeting that would change the
course of history.
November 1943: The Nazis and their Axis allies controlled nearly
the entire European continent. Japan dominated the Pacific. Allied successes at
Sicily and Guadalcanal had gained them modest ground but at an extraordinary
cost. On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army had been bled white. The path of
history walked a knife's edge.
That same month a daring gambit was hatched that would alter
everything. The "Big Three"Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill,
and Joseph Stalinsecretly met for the first time to chart a strategy for
defeating Adolf Hitler. Over three days in Tehran, Iran, this triostrange
bedfellows united by their mutual responsibility as heads of the Allied
powersmade essential decisions that would direct the final years of the war
and its aftermath. Meanwhile, looming over the covert meeting was the possible
threat of a Nazi assassination plot, code-named Operation Long Jump.
Before they left Tehran, the three leaders agreed to open a
second front in the West, spearheaded by Operation Overload and the D-Day
invasion of France at Normandy the following June. They also discussed what
might come after the war, including dividing Germany and establishing the
United Nationsplans that laid the groundwork for the postwar world order and
the Cold War.
Bestselling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier's new epic history, Three Days at the Brink, centers on these
crucial days in Tehran, the medieval Persian city on the edge of the desert.
Baier makes clear the importance of Roosevelt, who stood apart as the sole
leader of a democracy, recognizing him as the lead strategist for the globe's
futurethe one man who could ultimately allow or deny the others their place in
history.
With new details discovered in rarely seen transcripts, oral
histories, and declassified State Department and presidential documents from
the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Baier illuminates the complex character of
Roosevelt, revealing a man who grew into his role and accepted the greatest
challenge any American president since Lincoln had faced.
