Review: The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz

The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great stories on Churchill’s first year as War PM

Erik Larson knows how to spin a tale, and I was delighted to have The Splendid and the Vile to read during these times (2020 coronavirus pandemic, economic crisis and social unrest). The backdrop of people in London carrying on, during the sometimes nightly Nazi bombing raids, is truly inspiring.
