The acclaimed author of "Troublesome Young Men "reveals the
behind-the-scenes story of how the United States forged its wartime
alliance with Britain, told from the perspective of three key
American players in London: Edward R. Murrow, the handsome,
chain-smoking head of CBS News in Europe; Averell Harriman, the
hard-driving millionaire who ran FDR's Lend-Lease program in
London; and John Gilbert Winant, the shy, idealistic U.S.
ambassador to Britain. Each man formed close ties with Winston
Churchill--so much so that all became romantically involved with
members of the prime minister's family. Drawing from a variety of
primary sources, Lynne Olson skillfully depicts the dramatic
personal journeys of these men who, determined to save Britain from
Hitler, helped convince a cautious Franklin Roosevelt and reluctant
American public to back the British at a critical time. Deeply
human, brilliantly researched, and beautifully written, "Citizens
of London" is a new triumph from an author swiftly becoming one of
the finest in her field.
