First sentence: "How are we to win the war?" Prime Minister Winston Churchill posed the question rhetorically for the Defence Committee of his War Cabinet in October 1940.
Description: This major work transcends the conventional sub-cultures of academic history by bringing economic, social, military, and diplomatic history back together where they belong.

Allies at War represents a collaborative effort among British, American, and Russian scholars - with the Russian contributions being among the first fruits of access to Soviet archives - in which all the historians have attempted to set aside the accumulation of patriotic myth and political ideology that have characterized many Cold War studies of World War II.

Strategy, economy, the home front, and foreign policy are each studied "nationally" and in the context of the other members of the alliance. Allies at War therefore represents a pioneering attempt to see the wartime alliance as both "national" and "international" history.
