Hopkins could take the political risks his boss could not, and proved crucial to maintaining personal relations among the Big Three. Beloved by some--such as Churchill, who believed that Hopkins \"always went to the root of the matter\"--and trusted by most--including the paranoid Stalin--there were nevertheless those who resented the influence of \"the White House Rasputin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on newly available sources, \u003cem\u003eThe Hopkins Touch\u003c\/em\u003e is an absorbing, substantial work that offers a fresh perspective on the World War II era and the Allied leaders, through the life of the man who kept them on point until the war was won.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3620323\"\u003eDavid L.
