Description xxi, 419 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, photographs ; 20 cm regular print Summary 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 Analysis Australian Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Also issued online Subject Churchill, Winston, 1874-1965 -- Military leadership.
