The Splendid and The Vile | Erik Larson

“The Splendid and the Vile is the story of the London Blitz, the Churchill family, and London’s defiance of Nazi Germany. The book delves into not only the politics of the times and the brutality of the war but into the personal lives of Churchill’s family and friends.” -Laura, Amazon Book Review
