September 1941. London is blacked out under the threat of bombers, the Atlantic is a killing ground, and Hitler’s armies are driving deep into the Soviet Union. In this moment—before Pearl Harbor—Winston Churchill writes directly to Joseph Stalin to hammer an alliance into shape while the outcome is still far from certain.
In this restored reading, you’ll hear Churchill’s blunt strategic truth: what Britain and the United States can actually deliver, month by month, from October 1941 through June 1942—and why sea lanes and air superiority come first. He names the emissaries sent to Moscow, speaks plainly about Lend-Lease and “exportable surplus,” and looks ahead to the day when American industry would become a second фронт of power—furnaces, foundries, ships, tanks, aircraft, and the endless ammunition of modern war.
In this story, you’ll discover:
Why Churchill insists on clear monthly supply quotas—and what that meant for the Eastern Front
Britain’s strategic constraints in 1941: the oceans, the air, and a smaller army than the continental powers
The wider chessboard: Libya, Turkey, China—and the looming danger of Japan
The letter’s central wager: that if the Allies could endure, America’s full war strength would tilt history
