The Conquerors (Abridged): Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941–1945 Audiobook

" Interesting angle to look a WWII and the post war years through the eyes of Roosevelt and Truman. The wheels of politics and how they turn... "

" A good treatment of the diplomacy and decision-making that evolved over the final years of WWII with regard to the ultimate fate of Europe. "

" Good book on the political furor over what to do with Germany once the war is over. Also, it reveals the underlying prejudices of the Roosevelt administration towards Jews. But for all that thank God for Truman becoming President. "

" A lot of the accounts in this book I'd read before in others. The parts I found most unique and interesting were those on Henry Morgenthau and his transformation as a Jew in trying to come to terms with the Holocaust. "

" Excellent...fascinating. I learned so much! "

" Decent review of the behind the scenes politics of WWII. I knew nothing of Morgenthau's involvement in FDR's administration or of Morgenthau's plan to punish Germany after WWII. "

" This is when the president could make a military decision and not everybody in the country had to give their negative opinion. It seems people knew they all weren't the president back then and didn't know everything about the intricacies of the office. "

" great conclusions, unfortunately getting to them was tedious. "

" Ok. More on Morgenthau than either Roosevelt or Truman. "

" Very good book,well written, and informative. "

" The book was just too brief, and with too many suppositions on the author's part. "

" I love this political history, which focuses much of its attention on Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, who attempted to take a lead role in deciding how Germany would be punished after World War II. Overall a great read and an interesting and tragic piece of history. "

" Very detail oriented...interesting, though, to read the behind the scenes haggling that Roosevelt had to deal with. I had hoped to understand more about Roosevelt not helping get more Jews to America during WWII. Little too much of "he said, they said." "

" Insightful look at how FDR and Harry Truman handled rumors of the Holocaust during WWII. "

" pretty much based on morgenthau's journals and notes. . ..this is insanely boring and reveals almost nothing new. Beschloss is an historian for people who don't really like history. "

" I didn't FDR was such a scary manager. I'm glad he wasn't my boss. "

" A frank look at to key political leaders of WWII "

" Interesting book with a unique look at how Treasury Secretary Morgantheau tried and failed to influence post war Germany's future. Not the actual focus of the book but his access to to Morgantheau's documents played a major role in his research and point of view. "

" Second read, good as the first time! "
