ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL: MEN OF SECRETS
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76065
English Summary/英文概要： At the very heart of the special relationship between Britain and the United States lies an extraordinary sharing of secret intelligence. This unique alliance was built during the Second World War thanks largely to the close relationship forged between the United States’ President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Britain’s wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
As the two leaders communicated almost daily by secret telegram and telephone, personal meetings and messages through intermediaries to develop an unprecedented level of trust, so their respective intelligences agencies began to share their closely guarded secrets in the fields of code breaking, human intelligence, and secret operations.
Yet simultaneously each national leader sought to protect and advance his own country’s interests and thus on occasion withhold rather than share his secrets. How Roosevelt and Churchill managed this delicate task and yet still laid the foundations of the closest intelligence relationship between two nations the world has ever known lies at the heart of this gripping narrative.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书揭示这两政坛巨头从另一个追求独立的国家利益，是如何又各怀心事，小心翼翼地严守秘密。他们二人之间的独特关系,源于相关国家的历史和部分共享国籍——丘吉尔在所受的教育和担任的角色，几乎与这位美国盟友相差无几,尤其是对海军的钟爱,以及在盎格鲁-撒克逊制度的优越性信念的共同信仰。最重要的是,他们共同的敌人，纳粹德国和日本帝国更是将这二人紧密地黏合在一起。在这些基础上，罗斯福和丘吉尔联手打造了一个不同于历史上任何其他的战斗联盟。 这种特殊关系的核心,隐藏着更为深层的秘密,是一个非同寻常的和深远的——虽没有达到完美至极的高度,却也是一段情报共享和联合打造魔幻秘密行动的蜜月时期。这是这英美互信最为敏感的试金石,同时也是双方互相猜忌和不和的有力验证。(Sandy)
