Seven is Michael Beschloss's lucky number: The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941—1945 is the noted presidential historian's seventh book and the first to hit the national bestseller charts. He got a boost from Don Imus, who told his Imus in the Morning listeners that after experiencing the "page-turning" qualities of this book, "you might not want to read a novel ever again." The broadcast blitz has been impressive—appearances on Good Morning America, Charlie Rose, Fresh Air and lots more. Simon & Schuster noted that the book has been widely circulated at the White House—news stories comparing postwar Germany to what could be postwar Iraq have not gone unnoticed—and reported that the book has gone back to press six times, bringing the in-print total to 135,000.
