One sentence synopsis... A deep, detailed, and personal exploration of the twelve month long bombing campaign known as the Battle of Britain and Churchill's leadership throughout. .

Read it if you like... Larson's other books, ‘The Devil in the White City' and ‘In the Garden of Beasts' to name a few. He writes nonfiction history better than anyone, using only real documents and quotes to craft a cinematic story. It's refreshing to take a break from today's political mess and read about true leadership. .

Further reading... see next slide (this isn't even a comprehensive stack of all our Churchill books).
