Days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt met at the White House. It was Christmas Eve, 1941. As war raged throughout the world, the two leaders delivered a powerful message that still resonates today. Bestselling author McCullough relates a compelling story about the spirit of Christmas and the power of light in difficult, dangerous times.Jackie says:
"This is a beautiful book. In addition to the Roosevelt/Churchill addresses, there are brief histories of the songs "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas". But my very favorite parts are the old pictures that are scattered throughout this slim volume. The DVD of David McCullough telling his stories accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is bound to be a Christmas classic. I haven't read a Christmas book in ages that touched me as deeply as this one did."
