The Tizard Mission : the top-secret operation that changed the course of World War II

Author:	Stephen Phelps
Publisher:	Yardley, Pa. : Westholme, ©2010.

Churchill gambled on an unorthodox plan: a team would travel under cover to the United States and give the still-neutral Americans the best of Britain's secrets, in hopes that the US would provide financial and manufacturing support-- perhaps even entry into the war.
