On country weekends, some of the most prominent members of English society and even the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James gathered at Cliveden Manor. There on the estate of Lord and Lady Astor, they plotted ways of keeping Great Britain out of the war with Nazi Germany.

If they can outwit the terrorists, they can prevent the destruction of the Lake Granby High Dam and save the lives of thousands of innocent Americans.
