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

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dead Wake and The Devil in the White City delivers a startlingly fresh portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the BlitzOn Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium.
