Two military legends forged an unlikely friendship as they stood shoulder to shoulder to bring down Adolf Hitler. Their armies victorious, they joined forces again to lead the West into a strange new world in which human survival depended on preserving a precarious peace. From World War to Cold War, Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower cherished a heartfelt friendship even as the nations they loved drifted apart in a time of fallen empires and the threat of nuclear annihilation. This friendship was the axle around which the invasions of North Africa and Italy, the D-Day landings, and the conquest of Germany revolved. After the guns fell silent, each man guided his homeland through a new and more menacing struggle against Josef Stalin's communist empire. Told through extensive research, including the words of Eisenhower, Churchill, and their close associates, Ike and Winston reveals an affectionate bond forged in war and nurtured in peace.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan W. Jordan, a fascinating examination of the complex friendship between Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill, which weathered strains of America's rise and Britain's decline as the two men faced threats from Hitler, Stalin, and Khrushchev.From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan W. Jordan comes a riveting portrait of friendship, politics, and power at the highest stakes: the extraordinary bond between Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill.One was the soldier-statesman who would become America's thirty-fourth president. The other was the British icon who refused to surrender in democracy's darkest hour. Together they launched invasions, toppled tyrants, and shaped the world as the nations they served drifted apart. From world war to Cold War, from Pearl Harbor to the hydrogen bomb, Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower faced down Hitler, Stalin, and Khrushchev and stood together in the uneasy dawn of the nuclear age. Through triumph and loss, they forged a remarkable friendship that weathered the decline of an empire and rise of a superpower.Told in rich and gripping detail, drawn from the words of the men themselves, Ike and Winston is a deeply human story of loyalty, leadership, and affection-a kinship forged in war, strained by duty, nurtured in peace.
