Bargaining for Supremacy

In the critical period preceding America's entry into World War II, American military planners challenged Britain's leadership within the allied coalition by suggesting that America's great power be extended in the Atlantic and that the British naval forces be shifted to the Pacific. This decision was ratified in secret eight months before Pearl Harbor. Leutze reveals that Churchill was so intent upon bringing America into the war that he was willing to pay any price, hoping eventually to win back British power. Originally published in 1977.
