Lanny Budd infiltrates the Nazi high command in the riveting sixth chapter of Upton Sinclairâs Pulitzer Prizeâwinning series of historical novels.
Dashing and well-connected, Lanny Budd has earned the trust of the Nazi high command. To Adolf Hitler and his inner circle, the American art dealer is a âtrue believerâ committed to their Fascist cause. But Lanny is actually a secret agent serving as President Franklin Rooseveltâs eyes and ears in Germany.
When he learns of the FÞhrerâs plans for conquest, Lannyâs dire warnings to Neville Chamberlain and other reluctant European leaders fall on deaf ears. The bitter seeds sown decades earlier with the Treaty of Versailles are now bearing fruit, and there will be no stopping the Nazi war machine as it rolls relentlessly on toward Paris.
Dragon Harvest captures the dramatic moment when world leaders realized that in trying to appease Hitler, they made a grave mistake. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of Upton Sinclairâs vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.
