From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Jungle , an American
working undercover for FDR during WWII is targeted by allies and
enemies alike. Europe, 1940. As war rages across the continent,
President Franklin Roosevelt is keeping a close eye on developments in
the Third Reich. At the president's personal request, Lanny Budd gains
the confidence of the Nazi high command and begins transmitting
valuable information back to the White House. Espionage is a dangerous
game, however, and Presidential Agent 103 soon finds himself a target
of the French Resistance fighters he is attempting to assist. On a
trip to London, Lanny avoids death during a Luftwaffe bombing raid and
takes part in the capture of Rudolf Hess. Stranded in Asia after the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he's forced to make his way across
war-torn China. But Lanny's most important mission still lies before
him: He must unearth the Nazi Party's most deeply buried secret—the
progress of Hitler's race to build the atom bomb. A World to Win is an
electrifying novel in the Pulitzer Prize–winning series that brings
the early 20th century to vivid life. Praise for the Lanny Budd Novels
"Remarkably shrewd and often prescient." — The New York Times "Few
works of fiction are more fun to read; fewer still make history half
as clear, or as human." — Time "When people ask me what has happened
in my long lifetime, I do not refer them to the newspaper files and to
the authorities, but to [Sinclair's] novels." —George Bernard Shaw
"The completest and most faithful portrait of that period that has
been done or will likely be done." —H. G. Wells
