Citizens of London is 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: Edward R. Murrow, the handsome, chain-smoking head of CBS News in Europe; Averill Harriman, the hard-driving millionaire who ran ... (more)FDR's Lend-Lease program in London; and John Gilbert Winant, the least known but most crucial of the three--the shy former New Hampshire governor who became the new U.S. ambassador to England after Joseph Kennedy quit the post and fled the country as bombs rained down around him. A portion of all book sales will benefit the Historical Society in its ongoing mission to save, preserve, and share New Hampshire history.
