In \u003cem\u003eCommander in Chief, \u003c\/em\u003eNigel Hamilton reveals FDR's true role in this saga: overruling his own Joint Chiefs of Staff, ordering American airmen on an ambush of the Japanese navy's Admiral Yamamoto, facing down Churchill when he attempted to abandon Allied D-day strategy (twice). This FDR is profoundly different from the one Churchill later painted. President Roosevelt's patience was tested to the limit quelling the prime minister's \"revolt,\" as Churchill pressured Congress and senior American leaders to focus Allied energy on disastrous fighting in Italy and the Aegean instead of landings in Normandy. Finally, in a dramatic showdown at Hyde Park, FDR had to stop Churchill from losing the war by making the ultimate threat, setting the Allies on their course to final victory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eCommander in Chief\u003c\/em\u003e, Hamilton masterfully chronicles the clash of nations--and of two titanic personalities--at a crucial moment in modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNIGEL HAMILTON is a best-selling and award-winning biographer, and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Mantle of Command, \u003c\/i\u003e long-listed for the National Book Award.
