"Dodo Wonders" is the third and final installment in the "Dodo" series by E. F. Benson. The series was rumoured to be based on Lady Asquith, though she herself claimed that she had little in common with the character of Dodo - except the splendour of her drawing-room, perhaps. The glitzy life of Lady Dodo Chesterford is abruptly interrupted by the arrival of World War I. Along with her husband and their friends, Lady Dodo is faced with the challenge of rapidly adapting to an unfamiliar and dangerous new environment.

Vid Casablancakonferensen 1943 och senare vid Jalta i februari 1945 enades däremot de allierade statsledarna om att en ovillkorlig tysk kapitulation var den enda acceptabla utgången av kriget.
