Americans in a World at War tells the panoramic and often surprising story of seven worldly Americans, their personal histories, their politics, and the paths that led them to board a Pan American Airways seaplane bound for Lisbon in February 1943. When the Yankee Clipper crashed in the Tagus River, it took numerous lives but left a paper trail that leads to a richer, deeper understanding of Americans' diverse global commitments during the first half of the twentieth century as well as how the Second World War would transform those engagements.
