How the U.S. finally came to the aid of Britain, the only
European power left fighting the Nazis.
The book revolves around three U.S. characters: Gil Winant, Averill Harriman,
and Edward R. Murrow all of whom wanted the U.S. to enter the war even tho
Roosevelt tarried. As England held on by
her fingernails our U.S, ambassador, Joseph Kennedy, hid out at his country
house and told Roosevelt that England was going to lose the war and the U.S.
should not waste its resources trying to save her. Kennedy was also a Nazi sympathizer. The English people and its government did not
care for him. The appointment of Winant was a game changer and he was greeted
upon his arrival at the train station by the King of England. Winant, Harriman, and Murrow were very close
to the entire Churchill family. This is
not a dry read of history, It was a page turner. You will also read about
Pamela Harriman and how she seduced so many men close to power.
