Allied strategy shaped by four formidable leaders
Andrew Roberts examines the Western Allied war effort from 1941 to 1945 through the working relationships of Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, General Sir Alan Brooke, and General George C. Marshall. Framed as a joint biography, the book places strategic decision-making alongside the personal and political friction behind it: competing judgments, mutual suspicion, admiration, and repeated efforts to reconcile differences. The emphasis falls on how these four leaders’ temperaments, authority, and conflicting ideas about how to defeat Nazi Germany influenced the conduct of the war in the West.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in World War II strategy and Allied leadership
- Those seeking biography centered on Churchill, Roosevelt, Brooke, and Marshall
- History readers interested in the political-military relationships behind wartime decisions

"Masterly.
. . . Roberts's portrait of the relationship between the four men who made
Allied strategy through the war years is a triumph of vivid description,
telling anecdotes, and informed analysis." --Max Hastings, The New York Review of Books
An epic joint biography, Masters and Commanders explores the degree to which the course of the Second World War turned on the relationships and temperaments of four of the strongest personalities of the twentieth century: political masters Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt and the commanders of their armed forces, General Sir Alan Brooke and General George C. Marshall.
Each was exceptionally tough-willed and strong-minded, and each was certain that only he knew best how to win the war. Andrew Roberts, "Britain's finest contemporary military historian" (The Economist), traces the mutual suspicion and admiration, the rebuffs and the charm, the often-explosive disagreements and wary reconciliations, and he helps us to appreciate the motives and imperatives of these key leaders as they worked tirelessly in the monumental struggle to destroy Nazism.
