Virtual Event - Author Talk: Churchill's American Network

Join author Cita Stelzer in a discussion about her new book, Churchill's American Network: Winston Churchill and the Forging of the Special Relationship.

Her work offers a revelatory portrait showing how the famed British statesman created a network of American colleagues and friends who helped push our foreign policy in Britain’s favor during World War II. Using newly discovered documents and archives, Churchill’s American Network reveals how the famed British politician found a network of American men and women who would push American foreign policy in Britain’s direction during World War II—while at the same time producing lucrative speaking fees to support his lavish lifestyle.

Cita Stelzer received a BA degree from Barnard College, with a major in history, worked in educational publishing, and has been a stringer for the Financial Times.
