The Allies in War by Mark A Stoler
Offers a diplomatic and military history of the Second World War, as it was fought by the United States and Britain. This title examines the war these two powers fought in the European and Far Eastern theatres against Germany, Italy and Japan and the nature of the Churchill-Roosevelt special relationship.
'An important new study by one of the leading scholars in the field' David Reynolds, University of Cambridge 'This new volume on World War II is a decided tour de force... Lucid, balanced, nuanced and acute, giving equal space to the wars in both Europe and Asia, Stoler's interpretive overview is a valuable and welcome addition to its field.' The Journal of Military History 'This is the work of a mature historian, comfortably in command of his material, using his considerable experience to construct a tightly controlled narrative that carries the reader forward with little effort on his or her part; a sure sign of considerable effort on the part of the writer ... It is a masterly summary of existing scholarship, but one enriched by his own knowledge of the archival and secondary material ... As one might expect from Stoler's previous work, this book shines when it comes to grand strategy; the reader wanting a potted (and accurate) account of the evolution of Anglo-American grand strategy will find all he or she will need here.' John Charmley, The International History Review 'Allies in War is an excellent reminder of the difficulties of coalition war-fare.' Parameters 'Allies in War is engagingly written, balanced in it assessments, and thankfully debunks a host of myths about the most important military alliance in the modern age.' David J. Gossen, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
