Book Preview:

#1 The American ambassador to Britain, John Gilbert Winant, was taken to Windsor Castle by the king, who made clear that traditional court niceties were to be set aside during the war.

#2 Winant was the American ambassador to Britain, and his task was to explain to a country that was being bombed why a country 3,000 miles away wanted to help but would not fight. He said, I’m very glad to be here. There is no place I’d rather be than in England.

#3 Churchill was trying to convince the Americans to get involved in the war, but they were reluctant because they did not want to get involved.

#4 Britain was trying to convince the Americans to get involved in the war, but they were reluctant because they did not want to get involved. The British felt even more aggrieved when the World War I-era destroyers finally arrived.
