The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson
  1. This book has nothing to do with viruses or pandemics. But it is surprisingly relevant for these times. @exlarson provides a brilliant and gripping account of another era of widespread anxiety: the years 1940 and 1941.

  2. Sometimes history books end up feeling more relevant than their authors could have imagined. That’s the case with this brilliant account of the years 1940 and 1941, when English citizens spent almost every night huddled in basements and Tube stations as Germany tried to bomb them into submission.

  3. Erik Larson’s The Splendid and the Vile is a page-turner about getting through World War II.
