Citizens of London: The Americans who Stood with Britain in its Darkest, Finest Hour by Lynne Olson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This well written history made the Blitz much more real to me than it had been before. The information about the people and the political maneuvering was fascinating, the military planning parts went into more detail than I was interested in. Reinforced my impression of Roosevelt (not that great) and it was funny to hear the contemporary accounts of how people saw Eisenhower and Charles de Gaulle.
