Splendid and Vile
Readers who love history will enjoy this up close biography of Churchill. However, the book felt long at points to me as it tried to give a very detailed picture of what was happening. Although, living during the bombings on London would have felt like a long time. It’s still hard to imagine sometimes that a major city was bombed night after night for more than a year.
