The book tells the story of a secret mission by Britain and America to wartime Moscow. As the book tells it, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, and Stalin's forces risked a defeat that would have made the liberation of Europe almost impossible. Britain and America sent diplomats to keep the Red Army fighting. Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman and his daughter Kathy, while Churchill sent Archie Clark Kerr. The book also describes Stalin's frightening plans for the post-war world, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters and secret reports.
