I am currently reading Winston Churchill:An Intimate Portrait by Violet Bonham Carter. Her father was H.H. Asquith. She first met Churchill when she was a young girl and admired him even then. Also have read Citizens of London by Lynne Olson. (Nonfiction) The main Americans discussed were W. Averell Harriman, Edward R. Morrow, and John Gilbert Winant (he replaced Joseph P. Kennedy as the ambassador to U.K.) Dwight Eisenhower is also discussed in the book. A very interesting history read. Also read The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough. The Johnstown flood took place May 31, 1889 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Well over 2,000 people died that day.
