Roosevelt and Churchill, 1939–1941: The Partnership That Saved the West (1976) is a work of diplomatic and biographical history by Joseph P. Lash (1909–1987), the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and longtime secretary and confidant to Eleanor Roosevelt, whose privileged proximity to the Roosevelt circle lent his historical writing an authority and intimacy that few scholars of the period could match. Drawing on the Roosevelt-Churchill correspondence, British War Cabinet and Foreign Office files, and the Roosevelt Map Room papers, Lash examines the critical months between the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939 and Pearl Harbor, tracing how two of the most consequential statesmen of the century forged a working alliance under conditions of extreme uncertainty - each seeking, as Lash shows, to manage and at times manipulate the other, but always within a framework of shared strategic purpose, most crucially a common understanding of the necessity of Anglo-American naval supremacy.
