At the very heart of the special relationship between Britain and america lies a fantastic sharing of secret intelligence. This original alliance was built during the Second World War thanks largely to the close relationship forged between the United States’ President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Britain’s wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
As the two leaders communicated daily by secret telegram and telephone, personal meetings and messages through intermediaries to develop an unprecedented degree of trust, so their respective intelligences agencies commenced to share their closely guarded secrets in the fields of code breaking, human intelligence, and secret operations.
Yet simultaneously each national leader sought to protect and advance his own country’s interests and therefore sometimes withhold rather than share his secrets. How Roosevelt and Churchill managed this delicate task yet still laid the foundations of the closest intelligence relationship between two nations the entire world has ever known lies at the heart of this gripping narrative.
