Dramatic.


Compelling." - Publishers Weekly "In his monumental new book about one of history''s most epic events, Bret Baier has outdone himself yet again. I could not put this extraordinary book down.

This book not only sparkles but is destined to be a classic!" - JAY WINIK, New York Times bestselling author of 1944 and April 1865 "Bret Baier''s Three Days at the Brink is a riveting reevaluation of how the Big Three leaders FDR, Churchill, and Stalin collaborated to win World War II for the Allies and then created a Cold War superpower global order. With characteristic intellectual verve and brilliant analysis, Baier allows readers to freshly understand how the Tehran Conference shaped world history. Essential reading by a first-rate storyteller!" - DOUGLAS BRINKLEY, professor of history at Rice University and author of American Moonshot and Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America "Riveting.


With characteristic intellectual verve and brilliant analysis, Bret Baier allows readers to freshly understand how the Tehran Conference shaped world history. Essential reading by a first-rate storyteller!" - DOUGLAS BRINKLEY, professor of history at Rice Unviersity and author of American Moonshot and Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America "A fascinating story, dramatically written. Baier recreates [the Tehran Conference] vividly." - Booklist "In the past three years, Bret Baier, perhaps America''s top newscaster, has become one of America''s best historians as well. Three Days at the Brink is a fascinating narrative that doubles as a political portrait of FDR and a history of the momentous Tehran conference. Must reading." - DAVID EISENHOWER, Director, the University of Pennsylvania''s Institute for Public Service, and author of Eisenhower: At War, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History "An exciting, moment by moment account of the Tehran Conference and its aftermath.


Well-researched and highly readable." - SELWA "LUCKY" ROOSEVELT, former Chief of Protocol for the Reagan Administration "Bret Baier''s Three Days at the Brink gives us an exciting, moment by moment account of the Tehran Conference and its aftermath. Much of this well-researched and highly readable book is devoted to FDR and his leadership role in the three-day historic meeting, where he persuaded Stalin and a reluctant Churchill to agree to the daring strategy he advocated--i.e. the cross-channel invasion of Europe which ultimately defeated Hitler and won the Second World War." - SELWA "LUCKY" ROOSEVELT, former Chief of Protocol for the Reagan Administration "Fascinating and intriguing. Three Days at the Brink is a compelling account of FDR''s political life and career. This book, along with Bret Baier''s two prior works, distinguishes him as not only a renowned journalist but a superb storyteller and historian.


Americans can learn much from Bret Baier and his latest gem." - MARK R. LEVIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unfreedom of the Press.
