Description
"On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Over the next twelve months, the Nazis would wage a relentless bombing campaign - and it was up to Churchill to shore the country and teach the British what Erik Larson calls 'the art of being fearless.' Drawing on diaries, archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports, Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family, and his closest advisers. The Splendid and the Vile takes readers back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together."--
