The Splendid and the Vile Loved this book,very readable, more like a novel than a documentary. Looking forward to reading more of Erik Larson's books.
Excellent I've liked every Larson's book that I've read and this is no exception. The book covers the first year of Churchill's term as Prime Minister - the first year of WW II. The book reads more like a novel than a documentary, including a number of small anecdotes of the Churchill family and others. One feels the horror of the Blitz, but also interspersed are everyday actions of everyday people. I found it compelling, and couldn't put it down.
