Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. For the British prime minister, America's most famous residence was "the summit of the United States," and staying weeks on end with the president as host enhanced his global influence and prestige, yet what makes Churchill's sojourns so remarkable are their duration at critical moments in twentieth-century history ... Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to "General Ike," as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do)."-- $c Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Churchill, Winston, $d 1874-1965. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240703010528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A8B149A390111EF921F5BD751ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
