From Publishers Weekly

Dobbs (_Never Surrender_) extends his historical fiction series starring Winston Churchill with this title focusing on the Yalta Conference. As WWII winds down, Churchill, Joseph Stalin and FDR meet in Yalta to sort out postwar Europe. All in less than vigorous health (FDR is at death's door), the big three hammer out differences in their competing agendas, a process Dobbs fills with rich historical detail and dramatic flair as Uncle Joe Stalin extracts large concessions, particularly land reparations—such as in Russian-occupied Poland—from a deferential FDR and a scrappy Churchill. Meanwhile, Roosevelt lobbies for the formation of the United Nations and simultaneously keeps secret the atomic bomb. Minor characters, notably a Polish plumber trying to flee Yalta, point to the brutality behind what Churchill later dubbed the Iron Curtain. Perhaps the weakest negotiator of the trio, Churchill nevertheless maintains, with able assists from Dobbs, his famous eloquence, humor and shrewdness. History buffs and readers with at least a casual interest in Churchill will get the most out of this. (Mar.)

Review

Sunday Telegraph

-Dobbs knows his sources, but the dialogue is his own: good, clean, moving briskly and underpinned by the record, it conveys historical truth. ...

Furiously told and compelling, Churchill's Triumph is a thinking man's bestseller.-
The Guardian

-The novel is a triumph because of the author's fine appreciation of history and his meticulous eye for detail.-
The Times

-Dobbs is one of the brightest and best mass-market storytellers around.-
The Scotsman

-A brilliant drama tracing the human side of the leaders who held the future of the world in their ha
