1944. Difficult to read. Harder to put down.

Good Book, but Surprised. Let me first get out of the way, I loved Jay Winik's earlier effort, April 1865. In that book he did a superb job in detailing just how so many things could have gone differently, and altered history dramatically. Probably at the root of my surprise and mild disappointment, is my expectations of 1944 going in, were too high. The book started out very promising, with details about FDR I had never read before. I feel Jay did a great job detailing how FDR and his administration's foot dragging impacted The Holocaust. But I feel the balance of the book weighed too much on that part. I would have liked to have seen more about D-Day, more about the Pacific War, and more about the interplay between Eisenhower, Marshall, Churchill, and FDR. And Jay just teased us with what FDR's weak performance at Tehran did to set the stage for the Cold War and the next 50 years. Also, I thought Jay could have covered the important context material (events & facts leading up to 1944) a little faster and with much fewer pages. All in all though, another well written book, filled with compelling stories, and in Jay's easy to read writing style. Probably someone less steeped in FDR and WWII History would love this effort more.

1944. I've stepped right inside history with this book and viewed a familiar saga with fresh eyes. Painful, poignant and impossible to put down.
