NBC Special Correspondent Martin Fletcher "has been the gold standard of television war correspondents for decades," (Anderson Cooper). Now, Fletcher combines his own family's history with meticulous research into actual historical events in this dramatic story of Georg and Edith, a young Jewish couple who are struggling to stay afloat in London after World War II. Georg learns of a plot by Palestinian Jews to assassinate Britain's foreign minister, and it's up to Georg to stop the murder. Based on true facts, had this assassination taken place, there would never have been a homeland in Israel.
