A fascinating look at the personalities of Hitler and Churchill---both the same, yet both different---and how they influenced each other, the men around them and their people. It is about eighty critical days in World War II that contributed to the reversal of their roles: the then-absolute victor started on his path to defeat, while the almost defeated leader began his struggle to complete victory.
