Citizens of London: The Americans Who Stood with Britain in Its Darkest, Finest Hour info
The acclaimed author of Troublesome Young Men reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how the United States forged its wartime alliance with Britain, told from the perspective of three key American players in London: Edward R.

Deeply human, brilliantly researched, and beautifully written, Citizens of London is a new triumph from an author
