A World to Win (1946) by Upton Sinclair is the seventh volume in his sweeping Lanny Budd historical series. The novel unfolds between 1940 and 1942, during the heart of World War II. Its protagonist, Lanny Budd—a cultured art dealer doubling as President Roosevelt’s secret "Presidential Agent"—travels through Vichy France, Nazi Germany, wartime England, a China under threat, and even the Soviet Union. Along the way, he meets significant historical figures such as Pétain, Laval, Goering, Hess, Hitler, Einstein, Mao, and Stalin. Lanny gathers critical intelligence about Nazi plans (including the atomic bomb) and helps shape key wartime policies—most notably influencing Roosevelt’s "Arsenal of Democracy" speech. Amid espionage, dangerous missions, a near-fatal plane crash, and a complex love triangle involving two cousins, the novel brings global-scale political drama and personal intrigue to life .
