Description
The Summit: The Biggest Battle of the Second World War - Fought Behind Closed Doors by Edmund Conway. In 1944, world leaders gathered at Bretton Woods to overhaul the international monetary system. This was no ordinary economic conference, but a high-stakes summit that could have prevented World War Three. The delegates were divided, with tensions running high and personal agendas at play. The Russians threatened to derail the entire project, while the French repeatedly considered withdrawal. Drawing on previously unpublished accounts, diaries, and oral histories, this book brings the characters, events, and economics of the summit to life in stunning clarity. With exceptional verve and narrative pace, Conway reveals the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and power struggles that shaped the outcome of this pivotal conference.
