I forgot this review in 2020
The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik LarsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The newest book by Erik Larson. This guy never misses. It is excellent. It is history and very personal. In 1940-41, 44,652 civilians died and 52,370 were injured in the Blitz! Of those dead, 5,626 were children. Much of it was Churchill's pleas for Roosevelt to get America involved. This would not happen until the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
