"Engaging and original, rich in anecdote and analysis, this is a terrific work of history."--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion

"Citizens of London is a great read about the small band of Americans and their courageous role in helping Britain through the darkest days of early World War II. I thought I knew a lot about this dangerous period, but Lynne Olson has taught me so much more."--Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation

"A deeply inspiring chronicle of the special relationship between America and Britain when it mattered most."--Chris Matthews, anchor, MSNBC's Hardball
