Churchill Roosevelt Stalin: The War they Raged and the Peace they Sought

The story Mr. Feis has to tell is by now a familiar one--the history of the "Big Three" coalition from 1941 to the collapse of Germany in 1945. Most of his sources are familiar, too, although he has enjoyed access to the papers of W. Averell Harriman. Still, this is an important, and fresh, book. Mr. Feis writes with the advantage of 15 years' perspective, he has a talent for threading his way through a complex diplomatic crisis, and his unobtrusive judgments on wartime policies are both balanced and penetrating.

Herbert Feis (June 7, 1893 – March 2, 1972) was an American non-fiction writer and an Economic Advisor for International Affairs to the U.S. Department of State in the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations. Feis wrote at least 13 published books and won the annual Pulitzer Prize for History in 1961 for one of them, Between War and Peace: The Potsdam Conference. The Herbert Feis Prize is awarded annually by the American Historical Association, the pre-eminent professional society of historians, to recognize the recent work of public historians or independent scholar.
