Citizens of London: The Americans who Stood with Britain in its Darkest, Finest Hour by Lynne Olson
5.0
Listened on Hoopla. Excellent writing and great narrator! I am always amazed at how history comes to life through the people who lived it and made big things happen. Such a tragic, hopeful, devastating, and eventful war on so many fronts. Made me very angry at how selfish America was and how hard it is for governments and those in them to get anything done or even understand the extent of what is occurring in such bureaucracies.
The writer lives in DC, but she sure had sympathies with Britain and its people. Brought to light how much more a country who has the war in their backyard suffers than the one who goes over to help. I had never heard of the 3 Americans who had such an impact so it was great to get a different perspective from their part.
