Description
Jay Winik's 1944 brings to life the pivotal year that shaped the outcome of World War II and put immense pressure on President Roosevelt. This New York Times bestseller offers a gripping account of the events that unfolded, including the D-Day invasion, the liberation of Paris, and the tumultuous conferences that led to the coming peace. As the Allies landed in Normandy, millions of European Jews faced an escalating threat from the Nazis' Final Solution. Winik explores how Roosevelt grappled with this moral dilemma, weighing the need to defeat Hitler against the imperative to rescue the Jews. This dramatic account sheds light on a crucial chapter in history that has often been glossed over. With cinematic force, Winik renders the complex history of 1944 with great color and sympathy, revealing the human cost of the war and the difficult choices made by those who led the Allies.
