Join us for a discussion of *The Eleventh Hour:  How Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the U.S.Brokered the Unlikely Deal that Won the War* by L. Douglas Keeney.  In late November 1943, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his Joint Chiefs of Staff secretly boarded the battleship USS Iowa to attend a conference in Tehran with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, where the Allies would come to an agreement on a war plan to defeat Germany.  Although Roosevelt's preparation at sea established the groundwork for the American position on D-Day, it was in the heated and electrifying debates that followed in Tehran--and only through those intense debates--that a deal was ultimately struck.

Everyone is welcomed to attend the discussion.
