After the attack on Pearl Harbor, British, American and Soviet leaders struggle to turn separate wars into a workable alliance. Paul enters intelligence operations in Washington and Manhattan, Claire cooperates with American codebreakers, Lance plots escape from Colditz Castle, and Jeremy joins British commandos for a major raid.

Meanwhile, the Littlefield parents oppose the German occupation of Sark through patience and calculated defiance. By moving between Washington, London, Moscow, occupied Europe and the Channel Islands, the novel shows the family’s war becoming global at the moment the Grand Alliance begins to take shape.
