Churchill's Triumph - Softcover

&?This blood-and-thunder tale carries the ring of authenticity . . . a great triumph&?&
-The Independent&
&
World War II is about to end when the world&'s three most powerful men gather at Yalta in the Soviet Crimea: an idealistic and exhausted Franklin Roosevelt, a dyspeptic and feisty Winston Churchill and a brutal Joseph Stalin. Once proud allies, they will lie and cheat and deceive each other. And, while doing so, they will change both the map and the destiny of Europe.&
In this riveting historic novel, you become a fly on the wall of history. For those fatal eight days at Yalta, you are privy to the heart and mind of England&'s prime minister who hopes he has enough strength to negotiate with the Russian dictator and enough whiskey to last the week. Carrying the burden of history, Churchill becomes Europe&'s conscience, when, to save the peace agreed to at Yalta, he must decide whether to commit a devastating act of betrayal.&

&?Dobbs captures his famous subject with artistry. With every stroke of his brush, he etches the character deeper into the memory. It is beautifully done.&?&
-Sunday Telegraph&
&
&?Dobbs is following in a respectable tradition. Shakespeare, Walter Scott, even Tolstoy, all used historical events as the framework for their writings. And, unlike some of their distinguished works, Dobbs&'s novel is, in fact, astonishingly historically accurate.&?&
-The Times&
&
&?Dobbs has given us a splendid diversion, one that makes it worth chucking the TV set out of the window and settling down with a book.&?&
-Sunday Express&
&
&?Brilliant . . . full of magnificently dark political characters&?&
-DailyMail&
&
&?Intrigue, political scandal and government treachery . . . Dobbs demonstrates why he is the master.&?&
-Times Literary Supplement&
&
&?This is a rattling good yarn to keep you warm on long winter nights. . . . Here is good old-fashioned entertainment in the great British tradition of Rider Haggard done with wit, skill, pace and panache.&?&
