Special Report with Bret Baier reveals the gripping lost
history of the Tehran Conference, where FDR, Churchill,
and Stalin plotted D-Day and the Second World Wars
endgame. November 1943: The Nazis and their Axis allies
controlled nearly the entire European continent. Japan
dominated the Pacific. Allied successes at Sicily and
Guadalcanal had gained them modest ground but at an
extraordinary cost. On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red
Army had been bled white. The path of history walked a
knifes edge. That same month a daring gambit was hatched
that would alter everything. The "Big Three"Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalinsecretly
met for the first time to chart a strategy for defeating
Adolf Hitler. Over three days in Tehran, Iran, this
triostrange bedfellows united by their mutual
responsibility as heads of the Allied powersmade essential
decisions that would direct the final years of the war and
its aftermath. Meanwhile, looming over the covert meeting
was the possible threat of a Nazi assassination plot, code
-named Operation Long Jump. Before they left Tehran, the
three leaders agreed to open a second front in the West,
spearheaded by Operation Overload and the D-Day invasion
of France at Normandy the following June. They also
discussed what might come after the war, including
dividing Germany and establishing the United Nationsplans
that laid the groundwork for the postwar world order and
the Cold War. Bestselling author Bret Baiers new epic
history,Three Days at the Brink, centers on these crucial
days in Tehran, the medieval Persian city on the edge of
the desert. Baier makes clear the importance of Roosevelt,
who stood apart as the sole leader of a democracy,
recognizing him as the lead strategist for the globes
futurethe one man who could ultimately allow or deny the
others their place in history. With new details discovered
in rarely seen transcripts, oral histories, and
declassified State Department and presidential documents
from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Baier illuminates
the complex character of Roosevelt, revealing a man who
grew into his role and accepted the greatest challenge any
American president since Lincoln had faced
