The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz | Erik Larson

pick

Erik Larson always writes a well researched history book, and this one is no different. He looks at the early years of WWII and the blitz on London. I enjoyed this different look at London during WWII. Larson tells us in detail how the bomb shelters truly were. I learned so much by listening to this audiobook. Churchill was an interesting person but eccentric. He had no shyness about him and would take baths while his secretary was taking ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read notes from him in the bathroom. He watched the bombing of London from rooftops. With all his eccentrics, I don't think anyone else could have saved London and the world from Hitler the way he did. I think the book probably would have been better if I had read it instead of listened to it. I assume there would have been pictures and maps that would have brought it more clearly to me.

If you enjoy WWII history, you would probably enjoy this book.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

CoverToCoverGirl My Nan was a war bride. She never spoke about it much but she lived through the blitz and did survive a couple of close calls. This was such a good book. 10mo
