Presidential Mission

The year 1942 marked the turning point of World War II.

The Americans destroyed the Japanese Battle Fleet in the decisive engagements of Midway and the Coral Sea. General Montgomery defeated General Rommel at El Alamein. But for President Roosevelt, 1942 was the darkest hour of the war. He knew the Germans were developing the atomic bomb. Our victories would be meaningless if the Nazis perfected the “A” bomb first. There was only one man who could find out the biggest Nazi secret of the war: Lanny Budd.

This is the eighth novel in Upton Sinclair’s monumental Lanny Budd series of eleven. Listening to the entire series is indispensable to a true understanding of the forces that have shaped our tragic century.
