Citizens of London
Author: Lynne Olson
Publisher: Bond Street Books
Price: $34.95 (Hardcover)
American author and reporter Lynne Olson follows her war compendiums A Question of Honor and Troublesome Young Men with Citizens of London, a historical exploration of how the United States and Britain joined forces during the Second World War. Olson zeroes in on three players with links to government, business and media who helped bind ties: American journalist Edward R. Murrow and U.S. federal politicians Averell Harriman and John Gilbert Winant. The account traces their public lives and private ties, particularly to Winston Churchill’s family.
