Sleep in Peace Tonight Résumé

Sleep in Peace Tonight James MacManus

It is January 1941, and the Blitz is devastating England. Food supplies are low and tube stations have become bomb shelters. As the U.S. maintains its sceptical isolationist position, Winston Churchill knows that Britain is doomed without the aid of its powerful ally. As bombs rain down over London a weary Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelt's most trusted advisor, is sent to London as his emissary and comes face to face with the Prime Minister himself and an attractive and determined young female driver who may not be what she seems. In Sleep in Peace Tonight, a tale of loyalty, love, and the sacrifices made in the name of each, James MacManus conjures to life not only Blitz-era London and the behind the scenes at the White House, but also the poignant lives of personalities that shaped the course of history during Britain's darkest hour.

Sleep in Peace Tonight Avis

A gripping, racy retelling of history. Closely researched, the book gives a vivid and moving picture of that period in 1941 when Britain really was facing the abyss and when the foundations of the UK-US special relationship were laid. London of the Blitz comes vividly to life, as does the angst-ridden figure of Roosevelt's special envoy to Churchill, Harry Hopkins. Compulsive reading. -- Simon Mawer, author of The Glass Room
an enlightening and deeply pleasurable read -- Margaret Leroy, author of The Soldier s Wife
Readers will savour this breathtaking ride, that is both a heady, heartbreaking romance and a chance to witness this critical moment in history from the shoulders of giants fantastic! -- Pam Jenoff, author of The Kommandant s Girl
