Last Hope Island by Lynne Olson
Britain, Occupied Europe, and the Brotherhood that Helped Turn the Tide of War
A tightly researched narrative of how Britain functioned as a refuge for people fleeing Nazi Europe in the late 1930s and early 1940s, exploring the clash between humanitarian impulses and restrictive immigration laws, the work of private relief groups and diplomats, the fraught transatlantic relationship with an often reluctant United States, and the experiences of refugees—children on rescue transports, professionals and artists, and those interned or turned away—while illuminating the moral, political, and diplomatic dilemmas that left many vulnerable despite efforts to save them.
