Reviews
"An enthralling page-turner." -- O: The Oprah Magazine "Through the remarkably skillful use of intimate diaries as well as public documents, some newly released, Larson has transformed the well-known record of 12 turbulent months, stretching from May of 1940 through May of 1941, into a book that is fresh, fast and deeply moving." --Candice Millard, The New York Times Book Review "Fascinating . . . The entire book comes at the reader with breakneck speed. So much happened so quickly in those 12 months, yet Larson deftly weaves all the strands of his tale into a coherent and compelling whole." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "I have an early copy of this book on my desk and idly began reading the first pages--and suddenly time disappeared." -- The Seattle Times "The popular historian Erik Larson has done it again. As I read this book, I kept wondering what the swelling of powerful emotion was that I felt, sometimes in an almost physical sense." --Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny, in Air Mail "Still, it is a time of sadness, fear, grief and uncertainty for so many, and I find myself comforted by reading about other supremely challenging times in human history, and about resilience, and hope. For this, there is no better book right now than The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson." -- Mackenzie Dawson, New York Post "Nonfiction king Erik Larson is back." -- PopSugar "Spectacular . . . Larson, as America's most compelling popular historian, is at his best in this fast-moving, immensely readable, and even warmhearted account of the battle to save Britain." -- The Christian Science Monitor "William Shakespeare once wrote, 'There is a history in all men's lives.' Certainly, this has been lived out in the remarkable writing career of Erik Larson. His dynamic ability to tell tales from deep within the dusty pages of history in a gripping and cinematic way has earned him wide acclaim. What sets his work apart is his signature way of using painstaking research through personal journals and historical records to spin a gripping nonfiction tale through the ordinary lives of the men and women who succeeded, failed, and perished as a result." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette " The Splendid and the Vile delivers the great saga with a novelist's touch. It's like you're watching and hearing the days and nights of 1940 as a passenger on a double-decker London bus." --Chris Matthews , Churchill Bulletin "A propulsive, character-driven account of Winston Churchill's first year as British prime minister . . . Readers will rejoice." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Larson's skill at integrating vast research and talent for capturing compelling human dramas culminate in an inspirational portrait of one of history's finest, most fearless leaders." -- Booklist (starred review), "An enthralling page-turner." -- O: The Oprah Magazine "I have an early copy of this book on my desk and idly began reading the first pages--and suddenly time disappeared." -- The Seattle Times "There are countless books about World War II, but there's only one Erik Larson. . . . There are many things to admire about The Splendid and the Vile , but chief among them is Larson's electric writing. The book reads like a novel, and even though everyone (hopefully) knows how the war ultimately ended, he keeps the reader turning the pages with his gripping prose." --NPR "What Larson brilliantly provides are the finer details of the effects on England as he focuses on the family and home of its dynamic, idiosyncratic, and indefatigable leader. . . . Larson's skill at integrating vast research and talent for capturing compelling human dramas culminate in an inspirational portrait of one of history's finest, most fearless leaders." -- Booklist (starred review) "A captivating history of Churchill's heroic year, with more than the usual emphasis on his intimates." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Through the remarkably skillful use of intimate diaries as well as public documents, some newly released, Larson has transformed the well-known record of 12 turbulent months, stretching from May of 1940 through May of 1941, into a book that is fresh, fast and deeply moving. . . . Larson's deft portraits show the essential connection that words created between the powerful and the powerless, capturing the moments that defined life for millions struggling to survive the decisions of a few." --Candice Millard, The New York Times Book Review "This book is peppered with eye-popping details. . . . A deeply compelling work of history . . . Without resorting to heroism, it makes one long powerfully for real leadership." -- Lit Hub "Nonfiction king Erik Larson is back." -- PopSugar, Praise for Erik Larson Dead Wake "[Erik] Larson is one of the modern masters of popular narrative nonfiction. . . . An entertaining book about a great subject." --The New York Times Book Review "Thrilling, dramatic and powerful." --NPR "Utterly engrossing . . . It's page-turning history, breathing with life." -- The Seattle Times "A sort of geopolitical thriller, one that reads like a brainy mash-up of James Cameron's Titanic and Steven Spielberg's Jaws ." -- The New York Times In the Garden of Beasts "Powerful, poignant . . . a transportingly true story." -- The New York Times "Reads like an elegant thriller . . . utterly compelling . . . marvelous stuff." -- The Washington Post "Harrowingly suspenseful." --Vogue The Devil in the White City "[Larson] relentlessly fuses history and entertainment to give this nonfiction book the dramatic effect of a novel. . . . A dynamic, enveloping book." -- The New York Times "Engrossing . . . exceedingly well documented . . . utterly fascinating." -- Chicago Tribune "As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "What Larson brilliantly provides are the finer details of the effects on England as he focuses on the family and home of its dynamic, idiosyncratic, and indefatigable leader. . . . Larson's skill at integrating vast research and talent for capturing compelling human dramas culminate in an inspirational portrait of one of history's finest, most fearless leaders." -- Booklist (starred review) "A captivating history of Churchill's heroic year, with more than the usual emphasis on his intimates." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "I have an early copy of this book on my desk and idly began reading the first pages--and suddenly time disappeared." -- The Seattle Times "This book is peppered with eye-popping details. . . . A deeply compelling work of history . . . Without resorting to heroism, it makes one long powerfully for real leadership." -- Lit Hub, "Most Anticipated Books of 2020", "The kind of page-turner you always want in a history book but rarely get . . . Larson gives the reader a ''you are there'' sense of the intensity of Churchill''s work with his team on life-and-death challenges--and solving them at a pace I found to be mind-blowing." --Bill Gates, GatesNotes "Published in the midst of one of the greatest international crises since World War II, Larson''s new book tells the story of London facing the Blitz during that war through the characters of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, members of his family and his various advisers. Readers are left with an indelible portrait of a nation coming together to face a brutal assault from German bombs under leadership that is wise, empathetic and strategic--not to mention highly witty and charming." -- Time "Erik Larson, in his suspenseful new book, The Splendid and the Vile , captures the foreboding that settled on London leading up to the bombardment, as well as Churchill''s determination not to give in. . . . Plus, there is Larson''s reliable, cinematic writing and his intimate portrayal of Churchill." -- The New Yorker "An enthralling page-turner." -- O: The Oprah Magazine "A damn good story. There are narrative arcs, heroes, villains, and suspense aplenty to craft the kind of rich, immersive histories that have become Larson''s trademark." --Rolling Stone "This is Erik Larson''s moment. His affecting and affectionate chronicle of the Churchill family during the Blitz, the Nazi World War II bombing campaign against Great Britain, has found a hungry audience in the United States." --The Boston Globe "Through the remarkably skillful use of intimate diaries as well as public documents, some newly released, Larson has transformed the well-known record of 12 turbulent months, stretching from May of 1940 through May of 1941, into a book that is fresh, fast and deeply moving." --Candice Millard, The New York Times Book Review "Larson''s book offers a delicious slice of life of the world''s last great statesman." --The Wall Street Journal "Fascinating . . . The entire book comes at the reader with breakneck speed. So much happened so quickly in those 12 months, yet Larson deftly weaves all the strands of his tale into a coherent and compelling whole." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "I have an early copy of this book on my desk and idly began reading the first pages--and suddenly time disappeared." -- The Seattle Times "Still, it is a time of sadness, fear, grief and uncertainty for so many, and I find myself comforted by reading about other supremely challenging times in human history, and about resilience, and hope.

As I read this book, I kept wondering what the swelling of powerful emotion was that I felt, sometimes in an almost physical sense.

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake delivers a fresh and compelling portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally--and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile , Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless." It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it's also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill's prime-ministerial country home, Chequers; his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest; and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports--some released only recently--Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents' wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, 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 hardest moments. The Splendid and the Vile takes readers out of today's political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake delivers an intimate chronicle of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz--an inspiring portrait of courage and leadership in a time of unprecedented crisis "One of [Erik Larson's] best books yet . . . perfectly timed for the moment."-- Time * "A bravura performance by one of America's greatest storytellers."--NPR NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review * Time * Vogue * NPR * The Washington Post * Chicago Tribune * The Globe & Mail * Fortune * Bloomberg * New York Post * The New York Public Library * Kirkus Reviews * LibraryReads * PopMatters On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium.

  • The Era of Churchill

    Like most of Larson's work, "The Splendid and the Vile" is well researched and engaging. Churchill and his era during the bombing of London are an interesting study, and Lardon's source material depicts an extraordinary figure of history during challenging times. The courage of the British people and their captivating leader are depicted in a narrative interesting to anyone.

    A very detailed and extremely well written "insider's look" into the daily life of Churchill, his family, and friends in 1939-1940 before and during the Blitz bombings of London. Reading it is like being there; I couldn't put it down. An awesome read!
