The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Erik Larson knocks another one out of the park. I’m not sure there are many writers that do historical works as brilliantly and make them pleasantly readable as Larson. This is yet another work that lives up to the hype. This is an intriguing and informative book about Winston Churchill during the time when he was forced into being a wartime leader. This book gives a perspective of who Churchill was and why he was the type of leader that he was.
Brilliant book!
Thank you for the early copy.
