Description

In late November 1943, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his Joint Chiefs of Team of workers secretly boarded the battleship USS Iowa to attend a conference in Tehran with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, where the Allies would come to an agreement on a war plan to defeat Germany. Even if Roosevelt’s preparation at sea established the groundwork for the American position on D-Day, it was once in the heated and electrifying debates that followed in Tehran―and only through those intense debates―that a deal was once in the end struck.

In The Eleventh Hour, critically acclaimed creator L. Douglas Keeney explores FDR’s covert conferences at the battleship and provides stunning insight into the formerly secret, at the back of-the-scenes transcripts from the meetings in Tehran. Brilliantly chronicling the three days of aggressive debates between the heads-of-state, Keeney demonstrates that Tehran, Even if remembered as a diplomatic conference with a well-known outcome, was once in fact chaotic, conflicted, and subject to a lot of heated, closed-door sessions―with a petulant, irritable Churchill; a strikingly reserved, detached Roosevelt; and an assertive but abruptly diplomatic and even charming Stalin, winning over his guest, President Roosevelt, whose quarters were bugged by the Soviets.

Seamlessly stitching together the private papers, diaries, meeting notes, and letters home of those on board, The Eleventh Hour narrates declassified transcripts, exposes surprising secrets, and illuminates how the debates of three men would in the end end WWII.
