Winston Churchill as you may never have seen him before. In typical Larson fashion, he has managed to unearth details of of the man and how he was able, during the horrendous bombardment of the blitz, say what was needed to keep the faith to stand alone against Hitler. As often as I read about that one fact, I still struggle to understand the courage of that small island. This story of Churchhill ends when the Americans finally enter the war and we will never know what might have happened had we not finally come to the fight. No matter, Larson has managed to reveal how this funny, pudgy, cigar smoking character was a true hero. Fascinating read.
