It seems like easy duty. Lieutenant Lowell Brady is ordered to
London as a secret liaison to Winston Churchill, who is working his
way back to power as the threat from Germany grows. All this
dashing officer has to do is pass on messages, a made-to-order job
for a handsome rake with no greater ambition than finding a rich
woman to marry. The Navy would have kicked out the scoundrel long
before if it weren't for the influence of his stepfather, the
powerful Senator from Georgia, who got Brady a billet as a minor
White House aide. "You'd be nothing without me," he says. Brady, no
fool whatever else his faults, is the first to agree. It's a good
thing his mother adores him and the senator is firmly under her
thumb. Roosevelt and Churchill see war coming, and struggle to get
their countries ready, no easy job when America wants nothing to do
with Europe and its troubles. When the balloon goes up, Brady
expects to be behind a desk far from danger. But the ailing Harry
Hopkins, Roosevelt's friend and closest adviser, takes a shine to
him. When war breaks out, Brady goes with him to London for a
top-secret pow-wow with Churchill during the Blitz, and then on to
Moscow and the Kremlin for talks with the sinister Stalin. It is
dangerous that close to power, as Brady further finds out when he
becomes part of the small circle that knows Roosevelt intends to
get America into the war before it is too late, even if it means
sacrificing the Pacific Fleet. Against his selfish nature --
swinish wouldn't be too strong -- Brady goes out of channel to warn
of the coming attack. Caught red-handed, his punishment is being
ordered to join MacArthur in the Philippines. When he survives
Corregidor, he is dispatched to Guadalcanal. They want shut him up
for good, but Brady is as slippery as an eel. Years after the war,
Smithsonian researcher Harriet Gallatin comes across his story
while interviewing veterans at an old soldiers' home. Skeptical at
first, she becomes a believer when the FBI and then the CIA take a
menacing interest in her research. If the truth gets out,
reputations will be destroyed and political careers ended. One
thing is clear. The two of them have to disappear fast.
