Description

The acclaimed writer of Difficult Teenagers shows the behind-the-scenes account of the way the Usa cast its wartime alliance with Britain, told from the viewpoint of three crucial National people in London: E R. Murrow, the fine, chain-smoking head of CBS News in Europe; Averell Harriman, the hard-driving billionaire who went FDR’s Lend-Lease program in Manchester; and John Gilbert Winant, the shy, idealistic U.S. ambassador to Britain. Each guy created close connections with Winston Churchill—so significantly to ensure that all became passionately engaged with people of the primary minister’s household.
