THE STALIN AFFAIR The Impossible Alliance that Won the War

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Giles Milton

History • 11.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

British historian Giles Milton regularly narrates his own books, all devoted to aspects of WWII, and this illuminating account of the wartime dealings among Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin has a flavor no professional narrator could convey. Milton's voice is not schooled or melodious; it has the bark and urgency of a wartime announcer. Pitched but not strident, unvarnished but always exact, his style proves to be an effective vehicle for a narrative that peeks through curtains and listens at keyholes. The pivot is American railroad magnet Averell Harriman, who acted as Roosevelt's personal envoy, first to Churchill, then to Stalin, and along the way romanced Churchill's daughter-in-law, Pamela. All, especially Stalin, are sharply etched, legends and monsters brought to human scale. D.A.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
