Drawing on a wide range of Winston S. Churchill's personal correspondence, from all parts of his career right up to his retirement from politics in 1955, this title covers the great British wartime leader's long and consequential relationship with the United States of America, and reflects in his own words his lasting admiration for the land, people, and institutions of the country that was the birthplace of his mother, Brooklyn-born Jennie Jerome.

Special attention is focused on Churchill's efforts to gain U.S. support for Britain in the early years of World War II, in particular the Atlantic Conference on board British and American warships in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, in August 1941, where both Churchill and Roosevelt got to know each other far better, and established an unusually close political relationship through most of the war and the remainder of Roosevelt's life.
