In January of 1943 President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill meet in Casablanca to discuss the coming end of World War Two and the peace after. The meetings, at least for the press, were jovial and good natured. Behind the closed doors, this was not always the case.
Meacham writes a
really interesting account of the friendship between Churchill and Roosevelt. Built out of political necessity, their friendship went through many of the cycles that a tumultuous romantic relationship would. After the friendship was sealed, things got down right domestic. I'll have you read the book yourself or at least research the story, but I will say that "nakey time" is involved.
If you are interested in politics, or international relations this is a must. My bias towards Meacham aside, this is a great way to see just how major decisions during the war were made. If you a Churchill buff, you won't be disappointed. Roosevelt fan? Read the book! Like "nakey time?" Get ready!!
