First, \u003cem\u003eMantle of Command\u003c\/em\u003e offers a radical new perspective on FDR's masterful—and underappreciated—personal charge of military direction following the disaster of Pearl Harbor. Then, in \u003cem\u003eCommander in Chief\u003c\/em\u003e, Hamilton spotlights the president's infamous clash with Churchill when he attempted to abandon Allied D-Day strategy. Finally, with \u003cem\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/em\u003e, Hamilton's celebrated trilogy culminates with a story of triumph and tragedy as FDR orchestrates D-Day, and, while gravely ill, travels from Hawai'i to Yalta, designing a victorious peace that he would not live to witness. Now we know: even on his deathbed, FDR was the war's great visionary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   | \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003cem\u003eWAR AND PEACE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   “\u003cem\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/em\u003e is the third and final volume in Hamilton’s “F.D.R. at War” trilogy and certainly as gripping and powerfully argued as the first two . . .
