It is January 1941, and the Blitz is devastating England. Food
supplies are low and tube stations have become bomb shelters. As
the U.S. maintains its sceptical isolationist position, Winston
Churchill knows that Britain is doomed without the aid of its
powerful ally. As bombs rain down over London a weary Harry
Hopkins, President Roosevelt's most trusted advisor, is sent to
London as his emissary and comes face to face with the Prime
Minister himself and an attractive and determined young female
driver who may not be what she seems. In Sleep in Peace Tonight, a
tale of loyalty, love, and the sacrifices made in the name of each,
James MacManus conjures to life not only Blitz-era London and the
behind the scenes at the White House, but also the poignant lives
of personalities that shaped the course of history during Britain's
darkest hour.
