Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

xvi, 414 pages. Endpaper color map. Maps. The Allied Military Cast at Casablanca. Notes. Bibliography of Works Frequently Cited. Index. DJ has minor wear and soiling. Jim Conroy is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and served for six years in the United States Naval Air Reserve. He earned a master's degree in international relations at George Washington University and a law degree, magna cum laude, at the Georgetown University Law Center. A co-founder of Donnelly, Conroy & Gelhaar, LLP, one of Boston's leading litigation firms, he practiced law for 38 years, until May of 2020. Conroy was elected a Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 2014 in recognition of his first book, Our One Common Country: Abraham Lincoln and the Hampton Roads Peace Conference of 1865, the only book ever devoted to Lincoln's little-known peace negotiations with Confederate leaders on a riverboat in Virginia near the end of the Civil War. Our One Common Country was a finalist for the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize, awarded to the author of the best book of the year on Lincoln, a Civil War soldier, or the Civil War era. Conroy's second book, Lincoln's White House: The People's House in Wartime, was a co-winner of the Lincoln Prize and won the Abraham Lincoln Institute's annual book award. His book, The Devils Will Get No Rest: FDR, Churchill, and the Plan that Won the War, is a character-driven account of the Casablanca Conference of 1943, where Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and their military chiefs planned a winning strategy at the turning point of World War II. Written with "a cinematic sense of urgency and realism" (Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author), this is the first full account of the Casablanca Conference of January 1943, the secret ten-day parlay in Morocco where FDR, Churchill, and their divided high command hammered out a winning strategy at the tipping point of World War II. The Devils Will Get No Rest is a "vivid and engaging" (Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author) character-driven account of the Casablanca Conference of January 1943, an Anglo-American clash over military strategy that produced a winning plan when World War II could have gone either way. Churchill called it the most important Allied conclave of the war. Until now, it has never been explored in a full-length book. In a secret, no-holds-barred, ten-day debate in a Moroccan war zone, protected by British marines and elite American troops, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr., Sir Alan Brooke, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Sir Harold Alexander, and their military peers questioned each other's competence, doubted each other's visions, and argued their way through choices that could win or lose the war. You will be treated to a master class in strategy by the legendary statesmen, generals, and admirals who overcame their differences, transformed their alliance from a necessity to a bond, forged a war-winning plan, and glimpsed the postwar world.
