The book delves into the aspirations of eight key World War II leaders, revealing their visions for a postwar world shaped by their ambitions. Hitler aimed for German dominance in Eastern Europe, while Mussolini sought colonies in Africa. Churchill envisioned a revival of British and French empires, and De Gaulle desired territorial expansion in Italy. Stalin's goal was control over Eastern Europe, contrasted with Roosevelt's vision for a collaborative United Nations. This compelling study offers a unique perspective on how personal ambitions influenced wartime decisions.
