From international bestselling historian Giles Milton 彩票168即时开彩+中奖查询平台 comes the remarkable true story of the Allies’ secret mission to wartime Moscow.
In the summer of 1941, as Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin’s forces faced a catastrophic defeat which would make the Allies’ liberation of Europe virtually impossible. To avert this disaster, Britain and America mobilized an elite team of remarkable diplomats with the mission of keeping the Red Army in the war.
Into to the heart of Stalin’s Moscow, Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman, the fourth richest man in America, and his brilliant young daughter Kathy. Churchill dispatched the reckless but brilliant bon vivant Archie Clark Kerr to negotiate with the Kremlin’s wiliest operators. Together, this improbable group grappled with the masterful, mercurial Stalin to make victory possible. But they also discovered that the Soviet dictator had a terrifying masterplan for the post-war world.
Based on astonishing unpublished diaries, letters and secret reports, The Stalin Affair reveals troves of new material about the most unlikely coalition in history.

Reviews
‘Delivered with flamboyance, The Stalin Affair features a sparkling cast of characters, charmers, egotists and eccentrics with a ringside seat to world events…Milton effortlessly moves between high politics and the private world of those who shape them. His fast-paced tale is full of surprising details, reminding us that even the most momentous history is the sum of decisions made by people.’ Katja Hoyer, Daily Telegraph.
‘A thoroughly enjoyable, well-researched, and delightfully gossipy narrative of one of the most extraordinary diplomatic stories of the Second World War."‘ Conor O’Clery, Irish Times.
