Award-winning historian Andrew Roberts describes the grand
strategy of the Second World War afresh in one of the most
acclaimed history books of 2008.
Masters and Commanders describes how four titanic
figures shaped the grand strategy of the West during the Second
World War. The result is a strikingly intimate and enjoyable
account, which recreates with dramatic immediacy the atmosphere,
debates and manoeuvrings through which Allied grand strategy was
forged, and shows clearly the impact of personality upon
history.
