Citizens of London : the Americans who stood with Britain in its darkest, finest hour /
Lynne Olson.
- xxi, 419 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 20 cm.
Includes index.
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.
