Allies at War: The Politics of Defeating Hitler
The Second World War told as a coalition problem, in which the men who had to defeat Hitler spent much of it managing each other instead.
Bouverie writes the Second World War as a coalition problem, with Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, de Gaulle and Chiang Kai-shek managing each other while managing the Axis. It is a useful and detailed reminder that allies rarely get along, that the disagreements were substantive rather than personal, and that the alliance won anyway.

A useful and detailed reminder that allies never really quite get along with each other. You can never read too many books about World War II.
