"I only picked this up as part of a book challenge, but am glad I did. I enjoyed reading about the developing friendship of FDR and Churchill. The dynamics of their friendship and the resulting relationship helped shape the U.S.'s relations with England and other foreign countries. I saw their leadership skill and vision as the beginning of a new world view and globalization of foreign affairs. The creation of the United Nations was one of many FDR contributions to world history.
Churchill was a complex and intriguing character. This book whetted my appetite to further read about him. I was struck by his sentiment, patriotism, and devotion to his causes or his friendships. The book made these two historical giants human. My only complaint was it was sometimes too wordy or detailed, which caused my mind to wander a bit."
"Very engaging look at the personal relationship between FDR and Winston Churchill formed during WWII. The author (a Newsweek editor) tells the story of how their friendship--at least as much of a friendship as Roosevelt was capable of having with another human being--saved the world."
"Interesting insights into the friendship that changed the course of WW II, and subsequently, world history. FDR sounds like he was a bit of a tosser on the personal level, but old Winston really put himself on the line for his country and people. Loved his comment about how he would live in the US full-time (his mom was American) if only Americans didn't stop drinking between meals."
