The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz
Erik Larson (bestselling author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake) delivers The Splendid and the Vile, an intimate chronicle of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz in an inspiring portrait of courage and leadership at a time of unprecedented crisis . . .
With cinematic detail, The Splendid and the Vile takes readers out of today’s political dysfunction and 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.
"There are narrative arcs, heroes, villains, and suspense aplenty to craft the kind of rich, immersive histories that have become Larson’s trademark.” -- Rolling Stone
