Lanny Budd Novels Volume Two

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning series, books four through six featuring a well-connected American art dealer who goes undercover for FDR during WWII.

Wide Is the Gate: When his arms dealer father strikes a business deal with Hermann Göring, Lanny Budd is able to move easily among the Nazi high command and gather valuable information for those dedicated to the destruction of Nazism and Fascism. He's playing a dangerous game, which will carry him from Germany to Spain on a life-and-death mission on the eve of the Spanish Civil War.

The Presidential Agent: In 1937, Lanny embarks on a secret assignment that takes him to the Third Reich as the Allied powers prepare to cede Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler. But Lanny's motivations are not just political: The woman he loves has fallen into the brutal hands of the Gestapo, and Lanny will risk everything to save her.

Dragon Harvest: Lanny has earned the trust of Adolf Hitler and his inner circle. But when he learns of the Führer's plans for conquest, his dire warnings to Neville Chamberlain and other European leaders fall on deaf ears. There will be no stopping the Nazi war machine as it rolls relentlessly on toward Paris.

Few works of fiction are more fun to read; fewer still make history half as clear, or as human.

Remarkably shrewd and often prescient.
