From the Pulitzer Prize-winning saga, the New York Times -bestselling novel of an American spy fleeing the Nazis after being unmasked by the Gestapo.
In 1943, the once-unstoppable Nazi war machine is starting to falter. For a decade and a half, Lanny Budd's cover as a fine-art dealer and Fascist sympathizer has held firm, earning him the confidence of Hermann Goring and other top officials, including Adolf Hitler himself. With the Allies preparing to retake Europe, Lanny must make certain that the location of the invasion remains hidden from the Nazi high command. But his mission is compromised and his life endangered when Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's feared Gestapo chief, uncovers Lanny's true loyalties.
Now FDR's most trusted spy must run for his life, escaping into the European countryside with Hitler's executioners on his trail. His survival will require great courage, endurance, and ingenuity, but Lanny Budd is determined to live long enough to witness what he has waited so many years to see: the collapse of the Third Reich.
One Clear Call is the thrilling ninth installment of Upton Sinclair's Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatization of 20th century world history.
