Atlantic Meeting

An eyewitness account of the historic August 1941 secret meeting between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the lonely bays of Newfoundland. Morton, one of only two journalists permitted on the voyage, documents the perilous transatlantic crossing on the battleship HMS Prince of Wales, offering a unique, behind-the-scenes look at Churchill’s daily routines, the military practicalities of the mission, and the drafting of the Atlantic Charter—a defining moment that shaped Allied post-war strategy.
