About this ebook
Get a comprehensive overview for The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson for an immediate in-depth dive into the major themes found in this book.
Erik Larson's book The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz is about Winston Churchill and how he, his family, and his inner circle dealt with the German Bombing Campaign against London and Britain. Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium on Churchill's first day as Prime Minister. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already been conquered, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. Hitler would continue his bombing campaign for the next twelve months, murdering 45,000 Britons in the process. Churchill had to keep his country together and persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Britain was a good ally determined to fight to the finish.
The book explains how Churchill instilled "the art of being fearless” in the British people. It offers a fresh perspective on London's darkest year through the eyes of Winston Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who resents her parents' wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful but unhappy wife, Pamela.; Pamela's illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill's "Secret Circle," to whom he turns in the most trying times. This book will transport readers from today's political chaos to a time of true leadership, when Winston Churchill's eloquence, strength, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together in the face of unending terror.
