The story of how, in the darkest days of the Second World War, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt met over Christmas in Washington and launched their grand strategy to defeat the Axis powers. By Christmas Eve, 1941, the war could hardly have been worse for Britain or the United States. Barely three weeks earlier the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor and a week before Christmas the Italian navy penetrated Alexandria harbour in Egypt and sank the British battleships Queen Elizabeth and Valiant. The full story of how Churchill and Roosevelt spent three weeks charting the future strategy of the Allies has now been pieced together for the first time. One Christmas in Washington shows how two very different nations learned to work together and how two super-egos were joined by a common purpose - to win the war.
