Churchill's triumph a novel of betrayal

Yalta, 4th February, 1945. At the close of war, the three most powerful men on earth gather to thrash out the details of peace: the cantankerous Winston Churchill, the idealistic but ailing Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin, perhaps the bloodiest butcher of all time. Over eight days these men will lie, cheat and deceive each other as they struggle to find an agreement and secure their places in history. Meanwhile, as the smoke rises above Europe, a Polish soldier tries to make his way back home. He has cheated death many times but his luck is running out - though he'll still risk everything to find his daughter, missing in the ruins of Warsaw. For this man, and many like him, the enemy is everywhere.

  • "This novel is about Winston Churchill with this title focusing on the Yalta Conference. As WWII winds down, Churchill, Joseph Stalin and FDR meet in Yalta to sort out postwar Europe. All in less than vigorous health, the big three hammer out differences in their competing agendas, a process Dobbs fills with rich historical detail and dramatic flair as Uncle Joe Stalin extracts large concessions, particularly land reparations from a deferential FDR and a scrappy Churchill."
  • "Churchill's Triumph allows the reader to eavesdrop on the world's most powerful men, as they lie, cheat, and deceive each other as they struggle to reach agreement and secure their places in history."
