And President Roosevelt is promising he won't send our boys to fight in "foreign wars."But American radio gal Frankie Bard, the first woman to report from the Blitz in London, wants nothing more than to bring the war home. Frankie's radio dispatches crackle across the Atlantic ocean, imploring listeners to pay attention—as the Nazis bomb London nightly, and Jewish refugees stream across Europe.
