After the disaster of Pearl Harbor, we see Roosevelt devising a global strategy that will defeat Hitler and the Japanese, rescue Churchill and the British people, and quell a near insurrection of his own American generals and War Department. All the while, Hamilton’s account drives toward Operation Torch — the invasion of French Northwest Africa — and the outcome of the war hangs in the balance. \u003ci\u003eThe Mantle of Command\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate, sweeping look at a great President in history’s greatest conflict.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107116794096,"sku":"9780547775258","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780547775258_p0.jpg?v=1769896373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780547775258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
