Purchase options and add-ons

A compelling look at two leaders who held the world's fate in their hands — and the holiday visit that sealed a friendship and steered the course of World War II.

At the height of World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill held an extraordinary month-long visit, during which they planned the success of the Allied powers and strategized a continuing peace for when the war ended. Moving from witty banter to gravely serious discussions — amid a traditional public celebration of the Christmas holiday — the two cemented a unique bond as they decided how to confront a menace that threatened all of civilization. Thanks to the skillful work of author Douglas Wood and illustrator Barry Moser, the story of this remarkable time can be shared with a whole new generation.

Back matter includes; an afterword, an author’s note, and a bibliography.

My husband discovered this book in my collection and ordered several as Christmas gifts for his adult friends. Wonderful illustrations and a historical briefing that his friends appreciated--some to keep for themselves and some to pass to grandchildren.

I have several books by this author and several others by this illustrator, all of which I love. They have teamed up to offer a beautiful story with remarkable illustrations. This book captures the personalities of these two important figures by sharing quotes from each of them in context, as well as illustrations which have come from photos taken during this remarkable visit. I didn't know this story, and it's an important one to mark the 70th anniversary of an event that shaped history. This is a great way to share some WWII history with young readers.

Such a fascinating look into Winston Churchill’s extended stay at the White House during December of 1941; when he and Roosevelt began the strategizing of World War II and each nation’s role in the Allied Powers. I loved how the narration and fantastic illustrations work together to humanize these larger than life leaders during this tumultuous turning point in World History.
