The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson: Conversation Starters
The Splendid and the Vile is a New York Times bestseller book written by Erik Larson, which shows an enthralling portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz. In this book, Larson depicts in a cinematic detail about how Churchill taught the British people to be fearless. The Splendid and the Vile is a story of political strategy; however, it is also a drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill's prime-ministerial country home. Through his extensive research on original archival documents and even once-secret intelligence reports, Larson has provided a new perspective on the darkest year of London through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family.
