Citizens of London: The Americans who Stood with Britain in its Darkest, Finest Hour by Lynne Olson

4.0

If you are interested in WWII especially the relationship between Great Britain and the U.S. this is a must read book. The story of the British-American relationship during World War II was a rocky one, with a lot of ups and downs. This story is told through the story of three men, two which I recognized right away and one which I sadly must admit I didn't. The three men are Edward R Murrow famous for his radio reports out of London to America during the war, Averell Harriman, long time diplomat and John Gilbert Winant the U.S. Ambassador to Britain during the war. I am sorry to say I had not heard of Winant, so his story was the most interesting to me. If you want to view World War II from a different point of view this is a great read.
