• The complete story of the unique collaboration between American and Soviet soldiers in the twentieth century
• Based on declassified archives

The Great Alliance of the twentieth century was stunningly successful in achieving its immediate goals. American aid to Britain and the USSR through the Lend-Lease programme and the opening of the Second Front in June 1944 were the most striking episodes of cooperation between the anti-Hitler coalition, but the Great Alliance ended with a major failure - the Iron Curtain, which cut post-war Europe in half.A fascinating account of a pivotal moment in World War II.
