The Splendid and the Vile. A saga of Churchill, family and defiance during the blitz. Erik Larson. 2020. ISBN 9780385348713. A very well and tightly written story of the 57 days and nights of the relentless bombing of Britain by the Germans in WWII. You see how Churchill and family ( and other govt ministers) worked and lived through these horrendous days. Lots of pathos and emotion in the pages as well as insights into the English upper-crust life. The author has researched diaries, written reports and memoirs of the English, American and German leaders at the time. Well worth the read with the bonus of Churchill’s descriptive prose throughout the book.
