Summary
Masters and Commanders examines the wartime partnership between four pivotal leaders: Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and their top military advisers George Marshall and Alan Brooke. Roberts chronicles their strategic debates and conflicts from 1941 to 1945, focusing on critical decisions about where and when to open fronts against Nazi Germany. The book reveals how these men's clashing personalities and strategic visions—particularly regarding the timing of D-Day and the Mediterranean campaign—shaped Allied victory in the West. Drawing on extensive diaries and documents, Roberts provides an intimate look at the decision-making that determined the course of World War II.
