An enthralling, behind-the-scenes account of how the United States
forged its wartime alliance with Britain. Citizens of London brings
out of history's shadows the three key American players in London:
Edward R. Murrow, the handsome, chain-smoking news reporter;
Averell Harriman, the hard-driving millionaire who ran FDR's
Lend-Lease programme in London; and John G. Winant, the shy,
idealistic US ambassador. Citizens of London examines how these men
fought to save Britain in its darkest hour. Each formed close ties
with Winston Churchill - so much so that all became romantically
involved with members of the prime minister's family. Drawing on a
variety of primary sources, Lynne Olson skilfully depicts the
dramatic personal journeys of these men who, determined to save
Britain from Hitler, helped convince a cautious FDR and reluctant
American public to back the British at a critical time. Deeply
human, brilliantly researched, and beautifully written, Citizens of
London is a triumph.
