A World to Win

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
